edge of door touch up magno black matte

Unfortunately I realized today that someone must have opened the door and hit the edge of the wall or something similar because the edge of the door on my drivers side G63 is chipped and has metal showing. I never noticed this before my G only gets driven couple thousand miles a year, it is always garaged and used on long trips. I am not sure who did this. i do not think it was done by a stranger so it must have been someone in the family since it can only be done by opening the door and whacking it against something. I have some ideas but thats another story.

Its the edge of the door when you open it but you can see it with door closed and now i see it all the time. Its about 4-5 inches long.

Since the paint is matte I do not want to sand or do anything just apply a little touch up using a small brush and make it less visible. Anything will look better than the long *** metal thats showing smh!

I was watching this video

Does anyone suggest a good source for touch up paint/pen for magno matte black so i can apply it over the bare metal. It is really bothering me. I know it will still look off but anything will be better than bare metal showing. I have seen some kits on amazon/ebay was hoping someone has a suggestion here from personal use.

thanks guys hope everyone is staying safe and healthy

Try a company called Dr. Color Chip (?) out of Florida. I've had good luck with them for regular paint repair. Worth a try. Good luck!

I have used automotivetouchup.com several times and they can supply you with the touch-up paint you need. You do not need to buy any kits, etc. so just get the base paint.

Used them as well. My experience has been a closer match than factory touch up paint on the magno black.

And on the rare occasion it is not a match just let them know and they will remix it free of charge of course. I ordered a rattle can of Miami Blue last year and I got some shade of Green but I was told it was because whoever shipped it grabbed the wrong one.

Good deal. Needless to say go with several light coats and build it up, slowly.
