Default is s2000 body made of aluminum?

is it aluminum? or shee metal?
i have a little paint chip under front feder area, (where fender and plastic fender wall meet)
which is not noticible at all,
but if the body's sheet metal, i still need to cover it with paint because it's gonna rust.
please give me some info.

No, but the hood is.

It is sheet metal (steel). Make sure you properly prep the area before you paint it or you'll end up with rust beneath your paint.

No. Just really thin sheet metal.

The only plastic body panels are the front and rear bumpers. The fenders are sheet metal.
