If it's not serious, just leave it or try out the DIY "paint for you"?

The paint chip is not major, i think can be done by using the DIY paint, is the small dent that is very eyesore =(
Feeling very upset coz its still very new and dislike the fact ppl knock your car and run away like tat. Its not monetary but more on proper manners....

Yeah, it's a turn-off when you suddenly notice a dent or scratch on the metallic paint of your vehicle once you are back from shopping or at home. It is inevitable even though one is careful due to the carelessness or inconsiderate behavior of others. Mostly careless adults or small kids and teenagers.

Usually the mishap happens when you park your vehicle in parallel parking in shopping malls or open areas. Most of these parking areas are tight, and usually there aren't much space in between vehicles. Paint chips, dents or scratches mostly happen here. I am always careful when I open the door so as it won't bang the vehicle that is parked beside of mine, but others may not be so careful. The only option to minimize damage to the metallic paint of your vehicle is to park "nicely" or in a better parking spot, and keep a distance away from large trucks, lorries or busses when driving on the highways as small stones tend to fly from the wheels of these large vehicles that may eventually hit your front bumper or the windscreen.

My trick is I always try to find a parking spot at the:-

1) Corner, less 50% chance your car being bang by other car because only one side is exposed.
2) Park near to the beam/pole, so that only 1 side is exposed to another car.

By increasing the other 50% being scratch by "soaring eye" peeps on the corner since hardly noticeable.

What I'm saying, It's depend on your luck.
I gave a 3 quarter door opening size parking distance next to the car, still they managed to knock hard enough to dinked my paint. Sigh.

I agree that it is luck issues. I have been telling my gf i doesnt want to visit that place as the parking spots are very cramp and it will give rise to alot of opportunity for reckless drivers to hit you.

In fact i hv been very careful selecting my parking slots. I park next to a corner pillar so i minimise the chance of getting scratches. Nonetheless, it still happens.

Went to a uncle's workshop, he has help me to minimise the dent by pushing it out but did not want to spray it as i will loose majority of the original paint on the side panel.

oh well...anyone has good midnight sky diy paint kit i can use to touchup the chip so it does not get rusted easily?
