Re: Forgot to apply rust converter before touching up stone chip

If the chip is small and the paint you applied thoroughly covers the chip, I would not worry about scraping it down and applying a rust converter. Keep an eye on the spot and if the pain you applied flakes off (unlikely) then you will have another chance to apply the rust converter. But, as you mention, trying to scrape it down now could easily lead to a bigger spot. If the touch up paint fully covers the spot, there will not be a chance for moisture to get to the bare metal and cause further rust.
