Yeah, I scratched/chipped the door edge paint myself this past weekend. I was considering door edge guards, but I'm leaning towards just grabbing some touch-up paint and applying that. Then, just being a little more careful. :tango_face_wink:I ordered a set to try to keep my kids from chipping the door-edge paint... They haven't arrived yet, however. I do already have clear-mask on the door edges, so hoping these install over those.
No need to spend a lot of money. You can easily do it yourself for less than $10 with 3M Clear Door Edge Protection Film. Takes about 10 minutes.Find a shop that applies the ClearBra/Stone Chip. Have them apply a strip to the edge of each door.
On our cars we have this applied to:
Front of hood, part way up the hood
Any Flat Ares on the Grille
Behind each wheel (where grit/stones would be thrown up)
Back side of mirrors
Some vehicles, we have it applied to the front roof line
Edge of doors (All doors)
This looks much better on the doors than an edge guard. The newer films are much thinner and hardly noticeable.
Thanks for the quick reply. Looks interesting but I'm skeptical it'll do anything more than protect the edge of my door. I'd think it would need to be a rubber/plastic material of some thickness to prevent my door from chipping paint on somebody else's door.No need to spend a lot of money.
