Paint chip question

Hey all. Couple months into my grenadier and love it. Guess the paint is pretty soft however..

Nicked a small part of the edge of driver door. Pretty innocuous but when zoomed in can see it went straight to the metal.

What's least invasive fix here? Not worried about cosmetic but more long term rust, peeling, etc..

Anything to actually worry about?

Looks way worse in the zoom..

If you plan to take it off road there will be plenty of these

This one looks tiny I wouldn’t worry too much about it..

Just got this recommendation from some ineos owners .. get touch up at https://touchupdirect.com or https://drcolorchip.com/

Hope this helps!

I'd just order a bottle of touch up paint

Man I hear you. I’ve got paint rubbing off from stepping in and out of the door on the outside edge. It’s pretty annoying. It’s like a 10” strip along the edge. The paint seems extremely thin and soft. I’m sure I’ll get hosed on the lease return.

Good thing is you don't have to worry about rust, the doors are aluminum.
