Default Rock Chips Starting to Rust

The rock chips on my fender has started to rust. I never touch it up with touch up paint b/c I have IP and the paint matches horribly. What should I do now? The chips are tiny, should I wet sand out the rust which will F* up the paint around it making that area larger and touching it up. Or is there another method for getting out rust, so I can just apply a clear coat over it.

take it to a paint shop and have them look at it. There is a paint that reverses rust. I think it is Called por-15 or something like that. Alot of Jeep guys use it on their frames..

i think you should put the touch up paint for now.


rust is like a disease, don't treat it early enough and it could really F you up in the long run.

True. This is why when you get a chip in your paint, you're supposed to use some manicure (clear coat) and coat it before rust gets to it.
