Default pillar painting

so i did all my back pillars in krylon fusion they worked out great, then i tried to put my front ones in and because it was a tight squeeze i had to kind of force them back in and the paint scraped up, any ideas on how to go about getting them in without doing it that way i mean it went through all my layers of clear and paint, so i was wondering about sanding them back down and using that vinyl dye any advice would help

You could try to put some light tape over the places were it chips the pull it of aslong it dosnt pull the paint off or you might have to pull the headliner down!

Hey man, i did the same thing to my pillars. When I put mine back in they only scraped a little on the bottoms so I took some of the same paint I used to paint them with on a small brush and touched up the spots. You can't tell it now.

thanks, were yours really hard to get in as far as took some force, did you paint them with a gun or spray paint?
