Default Chip repair

Hey Mike,
as we discussed at STTL, I believe you would be better off having the small chip repaired in a tight area blend on that little inside corner vs. having the entire exterior door repainted.

If the entire door gets repainted off the car it probably will not match; even if Tony paints it. Air temp, humidity, original mix and all play a part in it the color, clear, and fleck match. Also, shipping a door could just end up with even more damage for you...

If all else fails, you can contact Mike at Advanced Auto Cosmetics/Colors on Parade in Carmichael CA. He repairs chips for MBZ, Porsche's, BMWs. He's got one dent/chip repair painter in there that can really blend small / tight areas... Tell Mike I sent you.
