Paint chip what to do?

I was washing the truck yesterday and I found a small paint chip on the roof of the cab. What should I do? It doesn't really bother me I just don't want it to rust and start growing, what should I do? Here's a picture of it.

Bring her in the garage ( or a place dry and preferably warm)
Clean whatever rust has developed off, touch it up with your touch up paint, followed by a clear acrylic nail polish.

For my chips I use a paper match ( ripped out of course and use the ripped end as a brush) Try to get the surface as clean as possible and warm the paint ( start truck use heater or if your in a warm climate area just let it sit in the sun) This will help the paint flow better.

Trade trucks!!!

Just kidding. Just felt like being more annoying than usual today.

Personaly I'd go with the duplicolor touchup paint with the pen type end. I've used them a little now and realy like the paint control they give.

Why didn't ford send me any touch up paint? I know they did that about two years ago when my mom bought her truck.
