photo2001 Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Did something today to my 2000 Forester that was really dumb. I was parked waiting for someone to come out of a store. When they were on their way to my car, I opened the passenger door and threw it open. *BAM!!* The door hit something solid. I couldn't image what it was, then looked and it was a very low brick wall about a foot high. It was too low to see from my vantage point when I parked there, but it still made me sick. I imagined a big dent, but when I got home, all I could find was a scratch in the gray painted cladding in the edge of the door. Not that bad. Does anyone know if there is a special touch-up paint for the gray cladding? I think it's a plastic material, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBRIII Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 We just got some from paintscratch.com. It matches perfectly. Touched up the rocker panel's on my wifes 96OBW we're getting ready to put on the market. They have the type with the flex additive as well. You need your paint code from the doorjamb to place the order. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo2001 Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 Thanks! Just curious, what is the purpose of the flex additive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBRIII Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 If you have a urethane bumper or spoiler that you can push on, it keeps the paint from cracking. I'd say it's mainly for bumpers, spoilers, ground effects, etc......... I had one on my BMW and the added it to the paint. You could squeeze it all day long and nothing happened to the paint.
