Chipped paint putting door back on

[Lord Bronco]

Took the front doors off this week for the first time. Was putting passenger door on as carefully as possible but still chipped the paint. Weeeeee!

Get your self one of those touch up paint pens the dealers usually sell and get a clear coat pen as well or a black sharpie lol looks like a rock chip at least there is no dent

I don’t have the desire to take them off again. Wanted to do it a least once, but I prefer them on. As for paint, I have to get my dented hood fixed and repainted anyway, so I’ll see if the shop will touch up that spot while they are at it.

Did you use the bags? I am going to make sure I have the bags on before I take them off, even if it ultimately doesn't help much. Also - ceramic coating.

Touch up and ceramic coating is in my near future.
I also recommend adding protective film to the roll cage. I scratched mine removing the top when it swayed a bit on the hoist.

Some good ideas in this thread!

This looks like door edge PPF. Did you install this yourself?

Fully intend on getting that clear 3M paint protection film and putting it on the “spots where I’ll probably screw up” areas on my Bronco.

I’ve also been told by a buddy of mine (he’s a super DIY type) that it takes a few months for the paint & clear coat to fully cure on a new vehicle. Not sure how true that is… but I’ll probably refrain from taking the top/doors off for at least the first 2-3 months.

Jeez. These things are more fragile than Humpty Dumpty on the wall.

Well, I guess by the time I get mine from Dirt Mountain the paint will be at max cure level! At 60 days today!

Mine should be about cured by now! Thank you Ford for protecting me from uncured paint!
