Most of this thread has addressed the remedies for fine scratches. Any ideas of what to put on these plastic trim pieces to add a layer of protection to keep ithe black plastic trim from getting scratched to begin with? Thanks

Got my "baby" back after three days under repair for the deliberate keying of my month old car. Seems they had to remove the entire plastic front nose piece as well as fill and repaint the entire front fender. Three stage process with the Tri-coat. Very very pleased with the work done to repair it! It might be just an illusion but I actually think the shade of paint on the repainted nose matches better now than when delivered new. Now to get some Zaino on the new paint!

All great and very informative responses. Thanks. But as of this afternoon, the inconsistency in my cars paint is the least of my worries as some a$$hole keyed my car today in a sparse parking lot at an area shopping mall. After owning the car for less than two weeks, I am now the disheartened owner of a 6-8 inch gouge on the plastic nose that is deep enough for the black plastic color to accentuate the scratch. It's repairable but I am so disheartened to be on the short end of such a senseless act.

Phew.....thanks for putting my mind at ease. I think I'll just keep it! Can't wait to get a few coats of Zaino on it! Again.....Thanks.

Just purchased a 2014 FFH with the Platinum Tri-Coat option. I gave it it's first wash today and noticed that the door jambs are not the same color but appear to be rather a non metallic white (Oxford White)? . Does anyone besides me think this odd? It's almost as if the car was painted initially in the Oxford White and then the exterior painted with metallic omitting the jambs. What are my options? Only had it a week. The colors are so close it's difficult to spot at the onset but I noticed it when washing it! Anyone else spot this on another car or production run? Any other owners with the platinum white color care to chime in as to whether your car is painted the same or differently? Thanks
