DANG IT!!! First Scrath and MY FAULT!!! How to fix?

[mwheat]

Okay, decided to give the new Titan its first bath yesterday. Never in my life have I been so an*l about cleaning a car. Spent hours on it... On my wife's car and my old one, it would usually take about 45 minutes

Okay, I had the windshield wipers lifted up so I could clean the window. Afterwards, I was walking around the car looing for spots I had missed with the chamios and noticed the chrome RIGHT under the hood was spotty. So I popped the hood and proceeded to lift it. Felt and heard this weird sound. I quickly lowered the hood and saw that I had NEVER LOWERED THE WIDESHIELD wipers back down. Took the paint off the edge of the hood. It is only about 1 inch long and unless I show you were to look you won't see it. But I know it is THERE!!!! And since I live in Florida, I'm worried about rust.

Are there any good options out there to fix this? Should I even worry about it? Years ago I tried some touch up paint on a hood for my chip marks. Afterwards I wished I would have just left them alone. Looked like crap! So I'm hoping someone has some good ideas!!!!

Thanks in advance!

You could revisit the touch up paint idea. Don't use the brush to apply it though. Use a toothpick and take your time. You can control where the paint goes better with the tip of the toothpick. May take 2 or 3 applications to get it built up without making it look like birdsh*t....Good luck
