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. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...g?t=1245355955 http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...g?t=1245355999 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... :icon_couchhide: |

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 |
Keep dragging your feet, it will erode surface rust as well.

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 http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...4/DSC03886.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...4/DSC03888.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...4/DSC03895.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...4/DSC03893.jpg |

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.
