First Time With Corolla - 1 week in

[DMO]

So after purchasing this vehicle late in the day - The Dealership would not take it back.. So I have had this car for 1 week I noticed 1 of the 3 things your about to see.. My question is Whats the best way to go about fixing these issues! I do Love the car it has Awesome gas Mileage 1 week averaging 31-32 and climbing.

The Dealership told me to come in and they will look at the last picture..

I cant see your pics...idk if they loaded or the problem is mine...what do you have going on??

Now I see them. So you didn't notice the damage when you made the purchase? Certainly the bottom pic is the worse one. I would assume the other spots could be easily corrected with light sanding then paint. They do not appear to be body damage.

I didnt notice the side mirror one at all. Is there a Forum already posted that has the Best Results for Painting and How to sand?

Yes they do! I keep touch up paint in the glove box.

You can fix the mirror cover, but they're $40 or less online and already painted. Just saying.

Do you have a Link? And What Touch up Paint is Best ???

I use Toyota touch up paint that I bought on Amazon. But all you need is your paint code that's on a sticker in the drivers door jam, and then look it up on Amazon.
I'll post a link to the covers in a minute.

This is actually for the mirror itself i thought we were talking about mirror covers? is there a kit i can buy some people said to sand down then primer.. just to make it the best touch up possible?

Always from when your sitting inside the car. Left is drivers side. (assuming your in a North American Corolla)

Yes, unpainted. I didn't see any that were already painted. You could try junk yards too. Maybe a white S got rear ended or something.
Would probably be cheaper to have the front fixed. I don't know what to tell you about that spot on the rear door though.
