    So gave the yota a bath today and wash dryin her off wen I noticed a few tiny chips on the hood not much bigger than a sharpie dot with surface rust. I'm guessing its from a few small pebbles chippin the paint but I was wondering what the best option is to seal them up so it doesn't become a cancer bubble a few months down the road. Any suggestions?

    Duplicolor scratch and fix

    About $15 (depending if they make your color)

    Comes with the sandpaper tip, color and clear.


    Scratch the rust out, paint it and clear it.

    You could prime or use a rust neutralizer before paint if you want
