Chips on Doors

Hi,

I've recently gotten several chips on my driver's side door. I have 2 small ones right on the edge that is not deep, but definitely there. I also have some on the plastic door guard right at the edge also.

Do any of you have that also? What do you do about that? I bought myself a little bottle of touch-up paint. But it comes out a little lighter than the actual color of the car. The only thing is that it is at the very edge of the door, and it's not that visible unless you're very close, but it is pretty annoying.

Let me know what you think,
Thanks!!!

And I know, this is worthless without pics!!

I have chips on the driver's side doors as well. The same crappy paint that is on the front of the car is on the side, so breathing heavy on it will chip it.

I've found that leaving the chips alone can look better than trying to touch them up, unless you have the time/patience to do it right.
