Default rock chips

I was washing/waxing the jeep yesterday and noticed several rock chips. Do I need to worry about these rusting? I put some touch up paint on them. What do you all think?

You will be fine with the touch up paint!

I've had a few that had already started to rust before I noticed them. I used my Dremel with a fine-tipped grind bit to get rid of the rust and down to the metal, then just used a spot each of touch up primer, touch up black, and touch up clearcoat. Haven't had any problems.

Touch up paint on a paint chip is great idea especially if the chip is down to the bare metal.
