I installed my gen 2 halo projectors and i didnt notice that when i close the hood, they rubbed on the corner. Its been like that for about 4 months. Im not sure if its rusted.

I heard that I could just put clear nail polish on it to prevent rusting. Could i just put black nail polish to match my paint?

I would just get some touch up paint from the dealer.... At least it's black. I tried touching up some scratches on mine (Laser Blue) and even though it's from the dealer, it doesn't match very well... metallic paint FTL

touch up paint would be your best bet.

I believe the hood is galvanized so it won't rust. I would go with kkanowitz's suggestion and get some touchup paint. That should cost ~$10.

Isnt touch up paint made of nail polish? Im too lazy to go pick up some

Can anyone confirm that its galvanized?

I found this and another member in the same thread backed him up on it. Its the best I could do.

a small bottle of touch up paint cost me $13.45 cdn with all the taxes, comes with a 2 sides applicator(brush and ball point pen) that's the way I would go.

Im bored at work so i was lookin in the owners manual and it said that if u have to get sheet metal repaired, make sure the shop applies anticorrosive material. Right under it, it says if u hav any stone chips, you should repair it right away cuz it will corrode quickly.

if not, you can always try to get it color matched at a paint/autoparts store.

Im gonna pick up a bottle of touch up paint next week. I have one more question though. Should i sand down before i paint?

I wouldn't if it's just a chip, just make sure to remove any wax from the area.
