Long story short the door rubbed on the edge of the wooden counter top and damaged the paint. After crying, then throwing wrenches (just kidding) I called it quits for the day.
My question, does anyone out there know if this can be repaired without the entire door needing paint? i get nervous about going to auto body/paint shops because i don't know enough about that s..t to carry on an honest conversation. Just asking for some thoughts before I start talking to some paint shops

Can you tell me where I can find the paint code on this car, I have looked and looked but am not coming up with anything. It sounds like you be the man to talk with when it comes to detailing, pleased to meet you M-in-O.
Thanks for your reply
Attached file lists the color codes (with tint formulations) by model year for the Crossfire. Machine Gray is color of my Coupe and many paint suppliers says it's the same formulation as Graphite Gray. Color Codes are sometimes listed as PDR for both; but tint formulations are distinctively different (184 vs. 759). I always supply both when ordering touchup paint.
I had a similar door paint issue when I accidently bumped my Honda V-twin getting out of the Crossfire in the garage. (Yeah, and I threw a fit! Heard me all over the cul-de-sac!) Used a paint pen from Automotive Touchup to cover the spot. Applied a clear coat using a paint pen once I was satisfied with color buildup. Hard for anyone to know it's there unless I show them.
