Suspected cause · Original poster
I suspect these are from careless drivers opening their doors in a car park.
Leading evidence: 'these are' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'these are' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair chips, either spend the money' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I have seen some good jobs and bad jobs of repairing chips, either spend the money to have it done perfect, or don't do it.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi All,
I have a 2004 C2 which has some small paint chips on offside door. I suspect these are from careless drivers opening their doors in a car park.
The marks are very small but annoying as paintwork is in excellent condition otherwise. Any advice on best approach besides a respray!
Thanks.
My advice is to take it to a paint professional and ask what it would cost to just touch up the areas. If there is one thing that I have never been able to do right is touch up paint and not have it look terrible. Must be one skill set I don't have. Paint is more of an art than anything else.
Check out Larry’s video instructions at AmmoNYC. That man does a great job explaining how to fix any type of paint blemish. But be warned: After watching him work, you may feel like you don’t do enough for your Porsche.
Depending on your wheels/suspension etc, my car has given itself stone chip patina on the sides... I've got 5 spoke 18" standard wheels and genuine 5mm spacers.
I stop looking for chips now because they are a way of life with the 911...
My car is at Porsche dealer getting paint chips corrected.
I had purchased a kit of Dr. Color Chip in Orient Red Metallic, but then decided not to do it myself.
The dealer disassembles all the parts near any areas with chips, to blend the clear coat and not get near rubber seals.
It is near completion, I get photo updates nearly every day.
I have seen some good jobs and bad jobs of repairing chips, either spend the money to have it done perfect, or don't do it.
Just my $.02
