Default how would i fix the bottom of my door panels

HI guys, just wondering if there's a quick, easy fix(or fairly inexpensive fix) for the bottom of my door panels....rockers are fine but the paint is lifting on all 4 doors on the very bottom and goes up about 2 inches on all of em and is starting to rust inside and out on said bottom.......i was thinking maybe sanding and some trim? any suggestions?

First of all the lifting paint all rust. You need to sand it off with 6o grit sandpaper the apply some Rustoleum rust inhibitor, the primer it. As far a finish you can get most colors in Dupli-color Auto paint. Don't try and blend it mask a straight line about 1" above the repair and paint it. OR you can use some strips of aluminum diamond plate if it's too bad. If the truck is a dark color paint the repair satin black. Pics would be helpful.
