    self inflicted decal damage :-/

    I opened my door a little to much and dinged the tool box. It "only" damaged the vinyl stripe not the paint but as you can see it's right by my door handle waving at me every time I get in

    the car. Can this be fixed inexpensively and by me? Any tricks or tips? Thank you and sorry for the pic quality. The hole is the size of a

    pinhead but very noticeable.

    If it's vinyl that's damaged, try a dab of plastidip. Should match well.

    Used a silver Sharpie to touch up my wheel center caps. Matches and has held up well haha.
