Chip in paint. question!

i have a chip of paint on my rear quarter panel and over time it has rusted.

its smaller than a dime and barely noticeable but it has come to my attention this past week and i want to get it fixed.

From my research, I've come to the conclusion that the rust must to be removed before the paint can be applied.

sanding down a minute surface area is kinda difficult and I am worried about scratching the surrounding area with perfect paint. I've found this Rust Converter online which I am skeptical about:

Any pros out there for input?

i was thinking of just applying subaru pen ink after i get rid of the rust somehow.

I plan on doing it myself so no need for input on shops that will charge me 300 dollars.

thanks in advance,

Kevin

I work with a company that might be able to fix that for you. Give me a call so we can set up an appt to get it looked at before I give you a price. I am in Fremont and the number is 51 03WRXSTI. I am in the process of opening Max Lipps Performance and should have the shop up and running by the end of Sept but can do work now. If you need anything let us know and we will help you out.
