Since the goal is to protect your car door from paint scratches & paint chips, we had to ensure it did not add scratches when you used it on a regular basis. For this very reason we went to great lengths to select the proper outer covering material to encase the bumper pads and magnets as this material would also be acting as a barrier between the magnets and your car.
With that goal in mind, a textile expert was brought in during the design process, and charged with finding a suitable fabric covering that was tough but soft. The textile consultant worked with the inventor and company designers at DoorDefender® to come up with the best fabric that would be durable, flexible, weatherproof, strong, colour blocked, yet soft.
It has a soft felt scratch proof pad sewn to the underside of the DoorDefender® to prevent the possibility of scratching. So when the DoorDefender® is installed on your door this soft felt pad comes between your door and the DoorDefender®. Don't worry though the magnetic field is still strong enough to hold your DoorDefenders on your door securely through the felt barrier.
So to answer the question, “will it scratch my car paint?”
In a word, no.
