How much should it cost to fix a couple possibly rusty spots on my car?

Question

About a year ago there were some drunk kids that had thrown rocks and shattered my windshield. I obviously got the windshield fixed right away but didn't do anything about the spots where they chipped the paint and coating away because there were only like 3 spots and they weren't very big (no bigger than a quarter each). I'm not sure if theyve started rusting just yet, but how much roughly would it cost to get these spots fixed and repainted? I have a 2008 Pontiac vibe grey/blue stock color, so no special paint color or anything like that.

You should always get damage fixed straight away but anyways... To fix three small chips it needs rubbing back, prep, primer, base and clear. A couple hours labour, plus paint. I'd say a shop would want $300. 
Depending on the condition of the car and how much you care about it, you should be able to do this yourself for more like $50.

I agree 👍 with both answers though I'd like to add that you can also take the car 🚗 to a panel beaters shop 🏪
