Default Paint chips?

I have a 2006. Front bumper and hood has a bunch of paint chips. All very small, but it really bothers me. What is the best way to take care of this?
Also, theres alot of bugs/grime/etc that I cannot get off! Bought a clay bar....that didn't seem to do anything. I guess living where I live and driving a low sports car, theres no helping these things....but it really bothers me. Eventually, I'll buy a new bumper and put a clear bra on it. But until then....anything I can do? Thanks guys

If you just want to blend in some paint so that the chips arn't as obvious, you may want to get some of that touch up paint, Any auto zone should have the exact paint match "Duplicolor" or something like that. Then just polish and wax the hell out of it. You will still be able to tell you have had chips in the bumper but it will make it less obvious. I have a black Z and every once in a while if I have a tiny spot I just dab it with a sharpe

Probably wouldnt do it on the hood, but I use if it's in a jamb or more recently the edge of my gas tank as I slammed the nozzel in, after I was distracted by a girl with the biggest gazombas Ive ever seen.

There are several threads devoted to touch-up paint. Good reading.
