Default Rock chip repair question

Was washing my car today and noticed a pretty decent sized rock chip. I'm pretty pissed , but I know I can't avoid those. Is the Dr. Color chip worth the price? Are there some other alternatives?

Dr. Color Chip is the ONLY way to go if your going to do it yourself. If not, your just globbing a glob of goo on the chip and it will look like a "Glob of Goo"!

Go with the Dr.! You will be happy with the results.

After you touch it up I would install a clear 3m bra

Dr. Color Chip seems to be the best/most popular way...a lot of people love the results they get with it and say its much better than touch up paint. I would just try that first and see how it goes
