So I've had this scuff or I don't know what to call it in my door for awhile but decided to post a pic on here to see if it's easy to fix or not worth it. I'm assuming some D smacked my door, pretty sure at my college during summer school. It's a pretty big mark, it's not dented, I think the cheap quality rally red paint just got scraped off, it's just metal color. Would the fix probably be just having to get the door repainted? It's too big for touch up. Here's a pic, it's in the center of the pic, not great quality just cause the grass reflection is in it and my phone at top right and my leg lol.

 

I hit a cone pretty hard autocrossing and it scuffed the paint to the metal. I used some touch up paint to make it not so noticeable. If you want it to be perfect take it to a shop and have them look at it. It may not be too expensive.

 

It's hard to tell from the pic whether the paint is scraped off or whether there are remnants of other paint on top of yours. If it's the former, you'll have to get the door painted. Red is not the easier color to match, so you may want to visit a few bodyshops and hear what they have to say. OTOH, if it's the latter, most likely the panel can be buffed out. Good luck.

 

from the pic, it looks like you can buff that out...

 

Touch up paint works pretty well. Just had to touch up the wife's front lip on her civic after hitting a rock lol. You cant even tell anymore!!
