paint damage. how to fix it?

after pushing a round bales of hay at the begining of this winter(stupid idea!!) i bent my bumper, which pushed the bumper up against the paint and chipped out some of the paint on the inside of the wheel well. Is there a way to fix it or do i need to take it to a professional? it is starting to show rust and i think i need to stop it before it spreads to a visable location.

Your going to need to stop the rust firstly, since it isn't in a very visible area, I'd take a wire brush to most of the wheel well. Then cover it all in a rubberized undercoating or brush on bed liner material. Either of those will take more abuse than paint and are easier to touch up.

If you want to keep it painted, then your going to need a bottle of touch up paint. Clean the rust off as best you can, and then apply the touch up.
