Default Car Doors and sidwalks bad combo

I got a question today I opened my door but I wasn't paying attention that the curb was high, So the bottom of the car door was scratched to the metal I think. Will that rust in the future.

If you leave it alone: Probably.

So you have two options:

Take it in somewhere and get it professionally fixed so it looks all nice and new

-or-

If the damage doesn't bother you to look at, get some primer, touch-up paint and clear coat and fix it up yourself. (I can't remember where, but there are a few places on the internet where you can buy little mini-bottles of primer, factory touch-up, and clear coat for this kind of thing.)

It won't look as good as a professional job oviously, but that will seal everything and keep you from having any rust issues in the future.
