Dinged my co-worker's car - stupid coupe doors

Caitlin&Caroline · 07-05-2012, 07:05 PM

So less than a week with my IOM SS, and the driver side door got away from me after work today. Not by much, just enough. Small dent for his Focus and a little paint transfer that wiped away. Worst part, assigned parking spots.

I left him a note, but I think that he would have figured out it was me. Doh!

Lesson learned about these darn doors, and Brian's other two cars should be safe from future door slinging.

Am I the only one? Is everyone besides me just on the receiving end of door dings? Or are there others here dealing some (unintentional) damage??

By the way, below is the pain that Caroline suffered.

(and oh, I've read enough on here to know that I need to clarify that I am not even blonde!)

If you get a bottle of touch paint you can do this and it may not even tell it was damaged. Take the brush and remove the excess paint. With a up to down motion start about 1/4 in above the chip. With the brush just touching the car move down about 1/4 down for the chip. I have done this to lots cars and you can not tell where the chip was.
