whats the best way to fix up a few paintless spots?

[GMC1994K1500SierraSL]

I have a few spots on my truck where the paint has chipped off, mostly on the sides of the box, whats the best way to clean them up and paint them so that they dont start rusting bad? they are just oxidized at the moment with a few small rust dots, the exposed metal areas are about the size of a nickel, 1 or 2 are size of quarters

thanks

I had a bunch of spots like that on my 95 4x4 behind the rear tires on the box, all I did was dab some por-15 on the bare metal spots, being its a black truck you couldn't really notice it. That was probably 3 years ago, I've since added some new paint chips to the collection but the old ones I originally touched up never rusted through. So I would just get some sort of rust paint or rust inhibitor and slap it on then maybe touch up with whatever color paint your truck is.

sounds good, ill give it a shot, any sanding done to the spots before you put inhibitor on it?

Just clean it up a bit, make sure all the loose junk is cleaned off, if any.

I think a wire brush on a grinder would clean that up real, think I'm gonna try it on my tail gate first see how it goes
