HELP! Interior door panel SCRATCHED!!!

Hi All,

My fiancee noticed a LONG scratch on her driver side interior door panel. The painted (silver in our case) oval plastic piece. Has anyone had to repair or replace this piece? And what's involved in removing this piece?

Thanks

The "oval plastic piece" is heat welded to the door panel, you'll have to mask it off and repaint it

I couldn't believe that it would be one piece but it is! I just called Mini Parts Department and they confirmed that it is one panel.

AND they don't sell touch up paint any more except to body shops!!! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!!! This is the STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard of. They don't even have a color code for the interior silver!

Anyone out there know how to match the interior silver other than eye-balling it?

Thanks
