Undercarriage scrape

Hey guys wanted to get some opinions on something I discovered while inspecting the undercarriage before my first track day. I noticed that the frame rail by the side skirt/rocker panel seems to have been scraped by the previous owner, it took out a decent chunk of the rubberized coating in the rail; some of the metal is exposed. Want to make sure it doesn’t rust/corrode, though I know it’s aluminum. Just wanted to confirm.

Looks like it is in the seam sealer. Drop a blob on and paint it if you want it to match.

Most modern body shops carry that paste. Its not a big deal unless there's a crack. I wouldn't be overly concerned just find a good body shop to address it.

Fortunately seems to be superficial
