78 MGB in that crazy sunflower orange yellow color. It is in ok shape, but came home the other week from a car show with a trophy and the side scraped a 3.5" paint gap down to the bare metal on the passenger door (with NO dent...)...ugh *sigh*..good thing my Grand National is ready for the next show...lol. I need to know if anyone has a quick paint fix (paint stick??) maybe to help. it is NOT a show car. It goes to shows and wins because it is unlike every other car that ever goes to the shows. So I just want to cover the metal and if it is obvious, that's ok, but the closer I can get to it the better. Also not sure what the color is called, but it is here in the attached pic:

thanks! Lou

I'd head for the local paint & body supply house.
 
Lou,
O'reileys auto parts has a 'camera' that figures out the formula of the paint and they can mix a spray can in about 10 min. I just did mine this week and it came out great.
