Getting paint chips repaired

dudara

I drive a 2000 318 which has two small paint chips on the bonnet. One has started to rust slightly, and although I'm keeping it covered with wax, I'm concerned about it getting worse.

Given the value of the car, is it financially worthwhile getting a professional to do something with the chips? Or are there other options?

All suggestions appreciated

That stuff looks like the business. I'll give that a go.
