Default HELP!

Can someone tell me how I can quickly and temporarily stop rust from forming on a paint chipped fender!? I don't have touch up paint and dealerships are closed and I need to protect this spot before moisture gets to it and rust starts forming and spreading! Is there anything I can do to protect it until I can get it to the body shop??

Don't panic, it's just surface rust. U have to sand it down to bare metal and repaint it. Spot painting on your color is really easy and cheap

Thanks so much for the reassurance! I cleaned it and covered it with electrical tape for now just to keep it covered and reduce moisture on it. Hopefully I can get it to the shop by Tues.!

And it sucks balls that its in the dead of winter with tons of salt out on the roads! Eeekkk
