Edges touch up easy with a little touch up paint and a very very thin brush....I took some paint off the edge of my door within the first 2 weeks I had my car....I wouldn't even be able to tell you where it happened after I touched it up....

We would have to see pics to know for sure though

Or the end of a paper match (not the end with the lighting material on it).
