i looked this morning i have a gash from a rock on my door still its pretty deep.. hmm i was thinkin would the oem door still trim cover it. its like on the corner and goes about 1/5 in. or should i get touch up paint then put the door trim in? pretty sad about this

 

Check and see if it's through the primer. If it is then you need to stop the rust, NOW! Touch-up's better than nothing.

 

Well Even if it is primered or not, I suggest you to touch it up.

I'm pretty sure rust can still come through primer, even if there is no exposed metal at all. There is less coverage through that part of the metal, and that part can have rust soak outward.
(I touched up the bottom lip metal lip of my mini, when it started getting pounding scrapes n scratches, and still, tiny rust spots like acne started popping up. The metal was rust free, and surface rust free.)

If you put a door sill to cover up the scratch, I suggest you still touch up paint it first.

1 Touch up paint it first, and if it still bothers you, get the sills or any sill to cover it. Hopefully large coverage sills.

 

the scratch is not to the metal but its to the primer so im pickin up the touch up paint and ordering my oem door stills to cover it up i'll post a pic of the scratch tomorrow when i seen it i was about to get nuts dam rocks...

does anyone know how much is touch up paint?

 

i think mine was about 3-4 dollars, considering i got one of those "scratch n fix" touch up pens in autozone or pepboys. Its like a bottle a little thicker then a chapstick and it comes with scratch pen, and a brush inside, but I never use the pen, always the brush.

Well it was cheap. You can get a little bottle, and its color matched by car brand and color.

Like i got HONDA - Tafetta White.

 

thanks i just picked one up from honda was like $10. went one layer still can see the scratch
