On my passenger side door at the top lip on the outside, a tiny bit of paint on my car has started to rub away (Either from a pathetic crowbar attempt or wear n tear from over use), and now a little bit of rust is forming.

What is my best solution? I've seen them touch up pens in halfords, are they any good, and does anyone know how much they would cost?

Also whats the easiest way to find out what colour my car is, I know its either the Arden blue colour or something very similar, but I want to be sure.

Cheers

open up your bonnet and you'll see a little silver square with your car details on it. On there it'l give u a code for the colour.

yes - buy a genuine touchup stick. Then you are guaranteed the rite colour or atleast on pretty close

you can use a touch up pen but it will never look perfect, as you cant get a smooth finish.
