Best thing for paint chipping on hood?

[rammertide07]

Got some very small chips/rust spots on the hood of my truck. Biggest chip size is about 1/4" and the biggest rust spot is the size of a ball point pin. I know these are very minor defects, but I've seen what happens over a short period of time if it isnt taken care of.

So just wanted to get ideas from you guys about any possible fixes. I've heard of paint burning by a paint shop, but I've also seen little paint bottles categorized by manufacurer (Ford, Chevy, etc) at autozone...doesn't seem to professional but I've never used it. Any input is appreciated. Thanks for the help.

The ONLY thing that works for rust is to remove it completely and do a fresh repaint. There are a hundred of Cures for rust, but they don't work. I will leave the chips to you.

I have been using rust converters for years.
Will hold off rusting longer then any localy painted jobs here can last.

Where do you go to get it at....and is there a certain brand to use or are they all the same?

mar-hyd one step

One-Step Rust Converter Primer Sealer, pint (3512)

And was also using Rust-Mort product that I cannot find anymore

I keep a small bottle handy and usually just spred with a small foam brush. It harden to a hard finish.

I did an old van and the sander could not sand it off so we painted over it.
