Paint problem w/pics

Ok....the photo upload problem is fixed. Thanks Wayne!

The paint problem is on my 2002 Chevy Silverado. As you can see in the photo, it's almost a 1/4 inch long and not very deep. Maybe a 64th of an inch...maybe.

What's the best way to repair it or should I just put some primer in there and then cover it with some touch up paint?

Thanks for any and all help!

Use some touch-up primer and paint if you want to do a quick fix at home.
If it's not too noticeable, who cares? As long as the metal is protected from further rust you should be ok.

That's what I was thinking too. It's on the roof (go figure) and not too noticeable. I'm wondering if the old touchup paint and then polish it down and repeat method would work well.

I'd sand the rust out (use a nail file or something), then primer and touch up. White paint hides everything.
