Paint on drivers door sill - Slowly wearing away
Hey guys,
I just noticed that on my drivers sill panel, there is a 5" strip where the paint has completely worn away. I had no idea how this has happened untill I got out of the car. I guess because I sit very close to the wheel (personal preference) that as I exit the vehicle, I rub my right shoe sole on it.
I am worried about it rusting out soon.
I understand pictures are worth 1,000 words, so I will have them up soon. Anybody else have this problem? Any suggestions to prevent rusting?

i have paint peeling on the inside of the door handle inset on the drivers side. From the looks of your car you are tungsten gray. I am also tungsten gray and mine is a 2007 GT which i got in late 2006. Any resemblance to yours?

Stop draggin your feets.
Nothing has touched my doorsills
besides a microfiber towel in the last 2 1/2 years.
If you keep dragging your body parts across it, it wont
have a chance to rust.
But if you must, LPS makes a great product. Its like cosmolene...

Mine is Alloy. And I have no peeling, just worn away paint
Anjd I guess it is a bad habit I need to stop. I didnt think it would rust if I keep "cleaning" it everytime i drive it lol

It really isnt that hard, its just a little frustrating dealing with the tiny LED's
Heres a few pictures: Using my sisters camera cause I broke mine

Intervention- Have you checked the paint on the bottom of your door? Are you sure it's not just a poor alignment between your door and the sill? Maybe there's rubbing. That just looks like way more than your shoe rubbing to me.
