I know what you mean. Especially when you park in the middle of no where you still manage to find door dings. I just discover my first one yesterday arghhhh

Buy the touch up paint but go to an art store and purchase a fine brush to apply it. The brush that is attached to the cap of the touch up paint sucks.

Yow! Sorry to see this man. I bought the paint/clearcoat pen, it might work for you.

I know you are from the BA, where may we ask did this happen? Which parking lot?

Damn, sorry to hear... I know that I am kinda uneasy when watching a movie at a theater whenever I have to park the Z in a parking lot like that of CT's in DC. I try to go to the Metreon and park in the lot across the street. They have individual spaces where door dings are easily avoided. But you gotta fork up some bones for the space, and it isn't so cheap there either...

You can also you a matchstick or a toothpick to touch up small stuff.

The "secret" is a silver car. Silver cars hide all dings, and are so dull and average that people don't even notice if your car is further away in the parking lot than usual.

I have even chanced going to Wal-mart and come out ding free!
At least there are more Zs out there now to calm down the haters. However, here is SoCal I still see dinged up 911s.

Sorry xray2, I disagree. MY CS has 2 door dings (and a small chip in one of them) on the right side and people have commented about them even as I drove by across a parking lot.
