Thanks in advance

Acura won't cover this.
You can remove the rust with a Dremel and a carbide tipped burr. Make sure your remove ALL the rust.
Then you can repaint with a fine-tipped object like a toothpick. Start with a base-coat like tremclad (color-matched), a few layers would be good, then finish with some touch-up paint over it. My own touch-ups using this method haven't rusted over since then.
