I think spray paint (except when applied at great expense by an expert)
almost always turns a small chip into a big blotch. As long as the
primer is still intact and there is no rust, take a toothpick and
carefully dab paint onto the chipped area to fill it. Done carefully,
this should not be noticeable.
