Default Help covering up paint chips from $#%#@ truck on freeway

Hey guys, anybody have had any good results trying to cover up big a$$ paint chips. I was on my way to school on the freeway when all of the sudden it sounds like hail hitting my car, when I notice a big loading truck about two or three car lenghts ahead in the middle lane and I find myself trapped between slow commuters on the fast lane. Needless to say, by the time I was able to pass the truck, and I got to the parking lot, there were little nicks all over the front bumper and windshield, and two big old chips were the paint was just taken right off. I hate truckers on the freeway, they are always doing something really stupid (a few weeks ago there was another guy dropping wood chunks all over the freeway that hit my car as well...luckily that time there was a cop car there to pull him over).
Anyway, besides the touch up paint, do we have any paint/body experts who can provide a more thorough solution. The problem I've had with little dabs of touch up paint in the past is that they seem to come off when you wash the car. Any help would be appreciated.

I feel your pain brother. I too have suffered the dread N.M. freeways. Going on my 3rd windshield on my truck in 3 years. Good luck with the chips. I would go right to Meloy Nissan Body shop (behind the Jaguar dealer) and have them fix it right! They do really good work. If you call ask for Kim.
