Car Dent

Hi everybody,

I just got a dent on my door from a stone. There is a small gash about 1/8" big. I think it is through the paint with the metal exposed. What can I do to protect this until I get a chance to bring it to a professional? Keep in mind that I won't have time to have it done professionally for a couple months.

Thanks

Best bet would be to put some touch up paint on it to keep it from rusting. But, unfortunately that won't be a simple PDR fix.

My G is graphite shadow. Where is the best place to get touch up paint to match it?

Just saw on a site that sells a tube with a small brush inside and a pen version. Any idea which one is better for a dent?

if you are getting it fixed soon then just put some clear nail polish on it to seal it
