When someone invents "self-healing" body parts for cars, that may solve this problem. Someone carelessly opens a car door and bing! A big door ding! Every day you can watch the imperfection slowly heal itself until one day you look and it's gone! How cool!

I've got scrapes on my body, but no dings. Whatever touch-up paint my DNA uses on my healed scars, it doesn't match the surrounding skin very well!

bill17: I've noticed that a lot of exotic (and expensive) vehicles get more than their share of flak on the paintwork...my theory is that these cars were formerly owned by celebrities, and are sometimes approached by fans who have no regard for personal property when attempting to get near their idol. It's not limited to cars either. did you ever see the remains of a front yard of a home where a mob of reporters camped out for days!

My 300E was previously owned by a Fort-Worth sheriff. I always wonder if the car ever saw any action...no bullet holes visible on the body, though.

I remember when Michael Jordan was still with the Bulls, on one interview, he complained about having to replace his vanity plates so frequently because fans kept stealing them as collectibles wherever his MB was parked...
