Paint chip repair
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! My Lexus LS has a small paint chip on the front of the hood which looks like it was nicked by a rock.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to repair this without making it look worse?
Thank you.

Get the color code from driver's door sill. Get some quality touch up paint from auto paint store (not Duplicolor). Wipe the chip with alcohol and use a pin to apply paint. Less is better, you're not trying to fill the chip. Don't put clear coat on as it tends to bulge up and not flow, making the repair look worse. There are plenty of youtube videos available as well.

Thanks everybody. I researched and then purchased some Dr Colorship as it looks tons easier than getting touch up paint and dabbing it on and spending hours trying to blend it in.
