Door Edge Chip

Hey guys,

I noticed this on the driver side door edge yesterday. I'm pissed cuz I dont know how it happened! Do you think some touch up paint will be enough to at least hide this? Its about 2-3in

Touch up should work just fine,especially since it's on the edge. Once you fix it, put some of this stuff on:

Best $13 I ever spent, and you can't even see it there unless you look for it. I have this stuff on all my cars.

I have the same issue on both doors but more on the inside of the edge. Paint seems to be VERY thin there.
