paint scratched off lower part of driver door, what to do?

hey guys, was out detailing my 09 red fit sport the other day and noticed that along the underside of the drivers door near the edge there is paint missing, i was thinking possibly from transport? almost looks like someone test drove it and parked close to a curb and opened the door allowing it to drag across something.

if i take it to the dealer, what would they do? what should i expect? the fit has around 700 miles on it now. any help would be appreciated!

Its going to be hit or miss what the dealer will do for you. When I worked sales in honda it just depended on how the owner felt that day haha. Sometimes he would get it fixed other times turn away.

How bad is it? Anything some touch up paint couldnt fix?

i would clean it, sand it lightly and just apply some touch up paint.
let dry. if you can't see it from the side of the car, just worry
about it not corroding.
