I've got a small chip on the leading edge of my bonnet, about 10mm long and 2mm wide. It's down to shiny metal and I don't want it to rust. It's a Suzuki and the panels aren't galvanised so are prone to rusting.

The car is driven every day and lives outside. I gave the chip a rub down with a fine sanding sponge, wiped over with a paint prep wipe, and dabbed on some primer from a touch up kit. Will this offer any protection at all? I'm planning to repair it properly when the warmer weather returns and just want to keep the rust at bay for a month or two.

Good luck with that.biggrin

Should be ok for a couple of months. As long as no more grit hits it.
