About all you can do is put some touch up paint on it.

You can try the touch paint option like MrCMK said or if just took off the paint under the pinstripes, put on some new pinstripes to cover it up. You may not have liked the pinstripes but they'll prob. look better than messed up paint. Not too many options in your situation.

Your local body shop supplier should be able to order you just about any color in any width, including combos.


Cheers, Wm.
