Scratched silver part of interior door handle

definingmoment · 04-09-2007, 04:40 PM

Any ideas on how to fix it? They are small nicks(really there small as hell, I'm just anal about that stuff) SHould I replace the silver part with one from honda parts deals?

touch-up paint at dealer...I own a silver sedan...wouldn't notice much after used it. Fine-sanding---would help too....I scratch my watch once. I used a very fine sand paper to get rid the scratch.

If you're really nit-picky about that stuff, might as well get it replaced. But be forewarned that once you start taking that door apart for the replacement, you might end up scratching something else.

If it were me, I'd just grin and bear it.

I know what you mean. I know sanding wont work because thats not going to replace the paint thats missing. I thought about just replacing it cause I know you can order that part I just dont know how that handle comes off.

I had the dealership scratch the silver part of my driver's arm rest/handle/window buttons area. It was a nice one too, about two inches long. They have been really nice to me in the past, and with my current car, so I just felt I had to let it go and not mention anything.
