Today coming home from a date I scraped my left sideview mirror when I wasn't paying close attention!
My question is how do I repair this scrape on my sideview mirror? Thanks!!

Well, its just a small scrape less than 3 inches long and half an inch thick. I think maybe I could do it myself? Could I just sand the area a little then apply some touch up paint then use paint thinner to blend it in good? Thanks!

you could take the mirror off and drop it off at a body shop... or take iot off and take you time and paint it. see if duplo color has your paint match in rattle cans.. sand it bare primer and paint not that bad a job small part should come out good.

Well, I took a sponge from my kitchen wet it and then proceeded to wet sand some of the white paint from my doorway off. After I wet sanded it I just waxed the area and you cant even tell I scraped anything. Cheers.
