Replace the whole door! I wouldnt patch it up, just get another door because the pic you have looks to be pretty serious "If Im looking right"

nah I got a pretty good close up using macro and it showed up alot different after i uploaded it.
its a few chips and its only visable when the door is open.
the whole chipped area is only about 3inch from top to botom and not ever 1/4inch wide
ill go take another pic with an object in it so you can see the size

Forgot to bring my key so the door is closed this time.
Also note that i just washed the car right before I took the first pics so its still wet.
And I took this pic in the garage so theres not as much light.
But this pic shows the actual size of the rust better but in person it looks even a bit smaller.

go to your local pepboys or what ever you have where you live and get a rust stopper, i forgot what its called, its somthing 21 or somthing , but you put it where the rust is and it stops it in its tracks, id suggest gettin behind your fenders and puttin it there and just look all around, all crx's have rust you just cant see it all the timeso its good to stop it now than later
