Need help fixing a chip in paint

[rw0640]

I've got a chip on the front of my hood about the width of a quarter. I'm worried it'll rust out. Is there an easy fix or should I bite the bullet and pay someone to fix it? I have no experience with this and may be more likely to cause more damage.

I saw this on tv and made me think it might not be too hard.

Don't worry your hood is aluminum..

Just get some touch up and use toothpicks to fill in the chip

That's right! it's aluminum... I wasn't thinking. Toothpicks would work a lot nicer than an aerosol. Cool, thanks!

Hood disease... not sure but sounds like it. the paint blistered up kind of like a canker sore then started to flake off.
