Undercarriage Jack Metal Scrape Issue?

[M3Father]

Bottomed out pretty badly on my 3 week old car. Coming from an SUV and needless to say I took a corner a bit too sharp and piped over it. Luckily no damage to the tire, side panel paint or car in general as I was not going very fast. Sounded really bad though. But got a gnarly scrape on the undercarriage plastic trim and the metal where you would Jack up the car. Should I be worried about these scrapes.

Will this rust? If so what should I do to rectify?

I don't know if that is aluminum or steel but I would bet steel and if so yes that will rust quickly if left like that. Easy to test with a magnet if it is steel or not.

It would be an easy fix though. Sand it down and then clean with alcohol. Then hit a coat of primer, let dry and then a couple coats of black paint and you are good to go.

Worry about the scrapes? No. Rust? Dunno, I thought that was aluminum. Check with a magnet.

I'm pretty sure that metal part is aluminum and wouldn't worry about it. I've never hit anything with mine, but have noticed a rough and dull silver look on mine, which makes me believe it's aluminum. Steel would have rusted already on my car. Also, I have a jack pad adapter with a magnet in the nub to help hold it in place and I have never felt it stick to the metal piece in question. It always just sticks to the steel above that part when stuck through the hole.

Did it get rust? Did you ever fix it?
