    are you going to try and fix it yourself and have a blob showing? area around rust would need to be cleaned/sanded and use something like cure rust which attacks rust and leaves a paintable surface for priming and top coat?

    any warranty with car as some models/makes may have? i dont deal in those repairs but many do and use airbrush so no whole panels sprayed and mobile.

    Checked....its not covered by them. Apparantley it happened because of stone chip and warranty won't cover it. what will be the approx cost ......You think it is expensive ?

    Given how new the car is I think I would leave this one to the professionals. Although it's very hard to tell how big or small this is without any scale on the photo.

    If it is very small, a pro might be able to patch it, but it would be worth taking the car to a couple, or even sending pictures and see what they say.

    Aye, don't do anything DIY before a pro have quoted you.
    Then decide if you think it's worth letting them do it, or if you want to have a go DIY (unlikely to get great results if you have never done it before).
