If it's a small scratch and you aren't too concerned about it try using clear finger nail polish to prevent further rusting.

Once a vehicle starts rusting it is difficult to stop, if it is just beginning to rust you may be able to sand it down to bare metal and primer it before spraying black paint over it if you cover it it will not adhere well. If it is a small area try using a small piece of sandpaper and than you can tape it off and spray paint it to match. (cheap way anyways) if you don't stop the rust it will continue to spread like a disease especially if your car sees harsh winters.
