It is almost summer here and I don't have to worry about bad weather (and rust) for a while now. So the little bike should be fine for a few months at least.
If I ever buy another Brompton, I will order the Raw Lacquer option at extra initial cost . Then paint will never be a problem again!
FF, I'm going to be ordering a spare brommie part from SJScycles soon, as I broke the handlebar catch (part that keeps the stem locked up so nicely when folded).
If you want, I can get you a pot of touch-up paint for your red brommie too.

Yeah, this is what I do too, but now the scratches are bothering me so I'm actually gonna get the touch-up paint along with my parts order.
