My son's Camaro had similar damage after someone tried to break into it.



Lots of scratches around the door handle. In his case, the perp had tried to slip a steel "slim-jim" between the door handle casing and the body of the car, causing lots of scratchs.



He finally broke the window and the alarm went off, and he ran like a scared chicken.



I've since put up motion-sensor security lighting.



Sorry... no pics....

I had to do it :chuckle:
 
Will the repair cost exceed your deductable?





I don't think I will claim it even if my deductable was lower than the cost to fix it. I estimate it would cost around $800cdn to have the door sanded down and painted and the molding replaced.



I will just try touching it up and sanding it down and then polish the paint to blend it.





Do you recall someone throwing a glass jar at your car while you were driving?



No, but what else would be hard enough to pit glass and metal ?

Looks like egg damage.

this was my first thought as well. It's sort of an odd splatter pattern. Egg can do unimaginable damage - - you have to see it to believe it. I can't guess what else would have caused that type of damage, it's so localized.



Ed, i feel bad for ya. I hope you can get it sorted out quik so you don't have to keep looking at it every day. :mad:



Good luck with it.

Egads! (that's the only polite exclamation I can think of). You have my sympathy.



Do you have a gravel/stone driveway? It looks to me like somebody picked up a handful of stones and worked them into your paint.



You need a Rottweiler!

The damage looks like what you'd see from the end of a flapping bungie cord left lose while driving. Very odd location for it though. What was parked beside you, and was it a windy night?



Shrubery can do this also. Even when it's not windy. If you're next to a bush that people push aside while walking by for example. If it's been trimmed with shears and has that nice hard and sharp branch that slams against the paint with each passing person...



The rivets on the back of a pair of jeans frequently cause this kind of damage from a kid with a squirmy bottom leaning against a car. But your damage goes too deeply into the door handle recess for that. But, same squirmy kid leaning against your car with a wallet chain hanging out of their back pocket or a bunch of keys clipped to their belt could get them down into that recess.
