Repaint the hood. Best to do this asap to minimize rust formation and corrosion damage to the hood… If you need to defer the paint job, ask a good body shop suggestions your can do now to minimize rust formation in the meantime. Applying wax will work, but the body shop might suggest something else, b/c the wax may interfere with the paint job later. ---

Most people who want to keep their cars looking good use automotive touchup paint to fill these chips in before they rust. This is a small bottle of paint with a small paintbrush inside that allows you to carefully add paint to the chip. You can buy this at the dealer or online vendors.
