Default door paint

Hi All

I think i know the answer to this anyway but here goes

My turbo is DMB

The paintwork aint the best, but for now i have to make do with it until some funds are free'd up.

My front bumper is in need of a respray due to me catching the bottom edge on my ramps and pulling the paint off, not bothered as it needed painting anyway.

But the problem all 4 doors, they are "GRAVEL RASHED" loads of white dots along the bottom edge, they are not visable when you stand back and look at the car but up close its horrid.

Now because the appearance is white dots, that sounds like its un repairable with detailing items and needs a re-spray, What do you think?

Can i hide it in anyway until i can afford the spray job? Its not that visable until you get close, its because i know its there, its bugging the hell outta me.

You could try a fine tipped marker pen to hide the white spots.

To be honest there is no detailing solution - it is indeed a respray job. Just an unfortunate characteristic of Impreza's I'm afraid. I hate detailing them because more often than not they are gravel rashed and no matter what I do I can't remedy it!
