Hi all,

I've been lurking here since I jumped across from the dark side to the blue oval camp about a year ago. I had been dead set on buying a v8 but the wealth of info and stories in this forum helped sway me at the last minute from buying an ss Late model camira to buying the xr6t.

I have a 04 BA XR6T in mercury silver and it's been awesome except for one minor annoyance. The paint on the external door handle surround has flaked off down to the white plastic underneath in a few places (about the size of a pea).

I'm just wondering if anyone knows the best course of action for such a small repair. Does the handle insert just pop out and can it be replaced? Or is it just as easy and cheap to get it professionally touched up?

I'll try to post photos asap.

Thanks guys.

Pic as promised.

Same problem with mine

Haven't seen that before but I believe that section pops out and can be painted/fixed up pretty easily.
