recently, a hi-lift related incident left a pretty deep gash in my driver side door. at first it didn't really bother me as it's purely cosmetic for now.
what i'm concerned about is since it is so deep (down to the primer) will it start to rust and flake? what should i do to prevent this? add some touch-up paint to it myself, or would it be best to take it to a pro and have them sand it down and repaint? the latter options is obviously more expensive and i will most likely never do it...but i wanted to hear what others suggested.
once again, it's the long term effects that bother me, and i want to get on it right away if there is anything i can do.
