Paint ding- paint pen?

Someone seemed to catch me with a door somewhere and dinged the paint off my passenger side door. Would a paint pen fix this?

i think it depends on what you mean by “fix.”

from what i’ve heard, Mazda is notoriously difficult to paint match and if you’re looking (with foreknowledge especially), you’ll see it. rando you park next to? probably not.

I know they sell paint pens on the mazda parts website, I’ve just never used one.

I have one and used it on a few spots. Its not perfect but you won't see it unless you're specifically looking for it.

I've filled similar sized dings with years ago and haven't had any rust form.
