    Hi,

    My wife hit some tree brushes while trying to park, and this caused some small chips.

    Since I have 0 experience with car paint chips, Do you think that if left untreated they could rust? if so, how can I repair them?

    Thanks in advance

    Plastic doesn’t rust.

    Good point, but I'm actually not sure if that's metal or plastic :o

    After some Googling, it looks like it's ABS plastic :)

    You can buy a paint touch up pen in a main dealer fairly cheap will take the bad look of it. But yes as said it won’t rust.

    ask your local bodyshop, they'd lose that completely and wouldn't cost a huge amount

    About €10 - €20 depending on where you buy (Dealer / EBay)
