Default Small paint chips/ Help!!

I have two very small paint chips on my car. One is on the upper most part of the bumper and the second is on the lower front most part of the hood. Im assuming they were caused by little rocks or something while highway cruising. I purchased my car pre owned but also purchased the 3 year 36000 mile warratny from Nissan. Does my warranty cover this or would it just be easier to pick up some touch up paint from Nissan and do it myself? I know some of you will say just take it in to the Nissan dealer and find out. Im just doing this to perhaps save myself some time. If no one knows I will just take it in and see if they can do it for me. As a side note is this common on newer cars. My Z only has 18k miles on her so far. Shouldnt the paint be holding up better?

It happens to everyone.
Just get some touch up paint and fix it yourself.

You will find recommendations for using touch-up paint in the detailing forum.
