Is it absolutely necessary to touch up any chips/scratches on your paint or is it just for aesthetic purposes? I know a lot of people say if you don't fix em up your car will start to rust but my FRS has seriously hundreds of chips on the hood and bumper. Seems like a hassle to fix them all. So is it okay to leave the hundreds of tiny chips on the hood/bumper or should I use touch up pen on it?
