Hey guys, apologies for the formatting in advance....posting from my phone.

Basically some idiot has slammed their car door against mines and it has slightly dented and chipped the paint.

I'm looking for a bit of advice as its really annoying me lol!

Do I replace the handle (any idea of costs?) or simply deal with it and get a touch up kit?

Note: The letter in brackets is the paint code. The (-) will be a number (year of car) and can be found on your car’s VIN plate.

Agreed with Stoney, replacing the door handle is a little too much work and you'll have to remove the interior trim. Much easier to get a touch up kit, and to confirm they do come with some clear coat. Put some on (nice and thin otherwise it will feel rough) and once you're happy and the paint has dried (doesn't take long) then put some clear coat on.

If you aren't happy with the finish, then buy some spray paint and mask up - but for such a small chip that too seems like a lot of work.
