Title: Chipped door post!
Post by: dan_apps on 01 August 2008, 18:06

was wandering if anyone knew if the door posts can be re-painted? i have a small chip which reveals bare metal underneath, but it seems like a special paint (its on the door post on the passenger side door).
basically some little urchin broke into my car and made off with my sat nav when i parked in a service station, i was 2 minutes and it was very busy at the time aswell!!  :angry:  :sick: anyway they used a screwdriver to break the window and its left a nasty chip so i wanted to sort it out, any help would be much appreciated.

thanks  :cool:

I am starting to see how Hurdy got his fetish for carbon fibre.
