• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

You best bet unfortunately is a door repaint and a replacement part for the scratched trim piece. In can "fixed" with touch up paint to look acceptable from 10 feet away. It all depends on what your expectations are.
 
trim is gone and needs to be replaced
paint looks like its salvageable with wet sanding and polishing. hard to completely judge by an image to see if it through the clear or not. good thing is most defects below the horizon line of site are not as noticeable and easier to fix to an acceptable level
 
You bring up a good point. The trim is plastic. What's the best way to fix that without replacing it? Still wet sand?

no, it has to be replaced. plastic trim can not be repaired, especially the chrome trim unfortunately
