Touch up paint to protect against corrosion

Hello everyone,

I was looking at having my aircraft painted in the next year or so but have decided to wait until I finish other projects. I do have some paint missing on the alerion (not all of it, but just a large patch on the trailing edge. I want to protect the surface from the elements. Can I sand and spray paint over that edge without dealing with issues such as balancing. It is a small patch about 3 x 5 inches. How much would be too much before you would have to perform a rebalance on the alerion.

That would go the same for flaps. The have the place where they run up against the wing root. Normally there would be nylon inserts for some protection.
