Paint Chip Repairs/Fixing?

[3MPSPWR]

Hi guys,

So i've finally gotten over some rock chips in my front bar until i found out today that the plastic bit in between the drivers side windows on the exterior side of the door has a chip about 3mm big Its annoying the hell outta me because i can see the paint on the bottom CB paint + black = very obvious!

Just wondering has anyone ever got this? :S (Its such a odd place to have it, im not sure how it got there)

Is this fixable? If so, how to... or.. Would i need to replace the whole plastic part? If so, is this covered under warranty @ Mazda? If not, how much is it gonna set me back?

Cheers!

not sure what part your talking about here???
If your talking about the window frame its a black decal thats made up of a few sections. i think youd buy it as a kit for whatever window frame is damaged. they are made up of 3 decals per frame.
They are not that cheap either.
thats if we're talking about the same section here......
No warranty here either.
someone could of hit it with something in a car park for all youd know.

Is that what u mean Cton? Yea it seems like such an odd place to have a chip :S and its small but visible... and its right near the "inner" part where the rubber seals contact...

yeah mate thats a decal over the top of the paint.

Oh really? So correct me if i'm wrong but for some reason when i think of decals, i think of the equivalent stuff of "stickers" but like a hardcore industrial version? So if thats the case then theres no way to save or fix this? Apart from replacing new ones?

I hate vandals. Especially the ones who paint arrows on cars, and a bad one at that. At least point it forward, give it a sense of speed. Good luck ;-p

Maybe it serves me right for buying a red car but there are far too many little paint chips on the bonnett for a car with 4000kms city based on it for my liking. It it just crappy or over engineered paint???

Yea, mine has that too Finally got over those in the front bar and bonnet and then this happens!! I think roads in Aust are just s**t in general... I dunno where ur from but Brisbane roads are just plain horrible, worse after a rain has been through... Instead of busting people for speeding, the government should invest in some nicer roads like europe especially in city areas! -_-
