Painting door/wheel arch edges

Hi Guys,

I've noticed that some of the paint has worn off and I can see the shiny exposed metal on the door edges (handle side). The same issue appears on the side of the wheel arches (the fenders were rolled by the PO). I'd like to paint this to prevent any water/moisture from getting underneath the paint and create bubbling or rust.

What is the best way to repair this? What process would you recommend and where can I get the supplies to get the job done?

Should I attempt this myself or have a pro take care of it?

Thanks

Depending on how noticable these areas are or how picky you are, a little touch up paint applied with a striping brush may be good enough. Otherwise you may be looking at repainting these panels. I've seen my boss do inpanel touch ups but that isn't for the novice.
