Rock chip SON OF A...

ybbiz34 · 09-13-2007, 03:41 PM

BITCH! Driving on the interstate today, a semi-truck kicked a rock up into my rear passenger door. Did not dent, but took an ugly ass chunk out of the paint.

Nothing I can do. Rock chips in places I can't see them don't really bother me that much, but this bastard pisses me off. Right below where someone reaches for the door handle, clearly visible. What are my options guys? I do not want to have to repaint my fuc*ing door.

Quit being a cry baby...

jk. Seriously, that sucks. Apparently this has been happening to quite a few people...gotta avoid those semis.

I feel your pain. I've got a nice chip on my passenger door right underneath the mirror. Whenever I approach a semi or dump truck on the highway I stay a couple hundred feet back and then give it about 3/4 throttle to pass quickly instead of slowly.

bmw touch up paint, followed by langka to smooth down the paint blob, and quick polish with Scratch X. This is not perfect by any means, but it's passable.
