Does anyone have a fix for paint chips...My hood has about 6-8 very small chips from normal highway driving..

I was originally told to get the touch up paint...go get a high quality fine arts and crafts paint brush and fill it in..

this works well but would like even better?

Car is Silver and the chips are probably 1/3rd of a rice grain size..

I have the same problem except mine is in the back bumper because people don't know how to f-ing park . I got some touch paint, it works decent because its slightly lighter in color than the car paint but its better than having a black chip there. I heard from people on here you should add a base first to the chip and then apply the touch up paint.

Default It works....FYI

FYI...I had my friend who does paintless dent removal fix the chips....Basically he fills them with touch up paint...Lerts it dry, then uses wet 2000 grit sandpaper to blend them in...Then buffs....

It looks really good but he siad to make SURE you have someone who knows what they are doing or they will go through the clearcoat and ruin your finish
