Went to orileys for some touch up paint. Looked on the inside of my door and came up with LD medium wedgewood afm0355 It looks light?? Do I need to go over the scratches a time or 2 more?

Touch-up paint is better than rust, but it will never look like "real" paint. Hard to blend/smooth it out, and it will still not be "right" and won't have the clear coat. I use it all the time in spite of the obvious "cheap fix" look. Because it's a cheap fix.

I think I do need 2 or 3 coats. It looks worse in my opinion. :/ but yes wayyy better than rust. Now I see all the nicks in my trim paint!
