Scratches, well ok gouges in the paintwork :(

Hi guys, due to my brothers  flats very small underground garage and my own lack of patience while trying to manoveour I caught the rear offside door on the corner of a brick wall that has left several gouges about 3-4 inches long in the paintwork.  they're through all the paint and down to the metal.

As much as I love my omega, the idea is to run the car while spending as little on it as possible (regular mechanical maintenace aside)

So my question is whats my best option for stopping the door from rusting?  I'm not too fused how the car looks, just want to keep the metal sound.  I've doused the area in ACF50 for time being.

Will post some pics up tomorrow as well if that helps.

Al

If you`re not worried how it looks why bother about the rust.................if it`s only the door you can pick one up for about a score

Good point! A friend mentioned it'll rust and I got a bit worried, guess I'll just give it a lil spray with acf50 every few months to help ward it off Smiley 

Thanks!
