Oof. A rock (?) dented and gouged my door

[clavicus]

I've got a pretty significant dent and paint gouge on passenger door driver's side, no idea how/when it happened. I assume it's a rock based on a rather circular dent and angular gouge going towards the back of the truck. It actually looks a lot worse in person. Hard to capture the depth of the gouge/dent with the reflections.

I'm wondering if I should do some DIY treatment ASAP in the meantime between getting it repaired... which possibly could be years down the road if I want to wait for the chance of some other cosmetic damage, and have it all repaired in one go?

Should I use an OEM a touch-up paint pen?

imo because i thihnk NC salts roads something like a touchup is good to put some protection on the metal until soemthing like PDR can be done. depending o how much ya care the touch up pen is fine but there are also other methods sort of similiar to this
depending on how you want it to turn out, of course protection wise nay paint is better, but these methods can yeild even better results imo. imo, the dent pulling can come later but the filling of the scratch should come sooner. not sure if this made sense though

The touch up pen is a good source for matching the color and protecting the undercoat and metal. It won’t be invisible, but it will look better and be a later better protected.
