Default WTF Jeep paint sucks!
Took my doors off for the first time today. I was very careful but banged my retched against the door on the 1st one I tried and now I have deep scrapes on the door paint.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I am not a fan of touch up paint. I’m calling a professional who can blen it nicely but will probably cost me $50 for a tinny scratch

So if you bang a wrench on a Mercedes or BMW and scratch the paint then their paint sucks also?

So true if you worry about little scrapes and shit like this you'd have a heart attack after some of the stuff I've dragged my rig through. And every spring I do my finest detailing and touch up work to start the chaos all over again.
