We just picked up an 03 Grand Cherokee Laredo with 40k on the clock. It`s a nice SUV.
Here`s a pic of it after I used the Klasse Concours Kit from properautocare.com:

The driver`s side door area needs a little help. I have a few deep scratches on the upper part of the door, above the window:

With the driver`s door open, you can see some damage that occured to the leading edge of the d-side rear passenger door. My best assumption is the previous owner used to get out with the seatbelt still partially on and allowed it to slap back into place. I know...ouch.

Luckily, you can`t see most of that with the door shut. To most people, it`s probably not even a big deal. However since I`m here with like minded people, it bothers me somewhat.
What`s the best way to go about fixing this? The scratches may be able to be fixed wtih touchup, but I`m not 100% sure.
The chips seems boarderline respray to me. Are there small operations that can come to your house and fix something like that? Again, it seems too big of a job for the touch up bottle, but to small of a job to bring to an autobody shop.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
