How to get rid of chips?
This morning when I was taking my wife to work I had opened my car door and chipped my door accidentally when it touched her car. Do you guys have any idea of what I can do to fix this chip? The chip is so blatant and I want to get rid of it ASAP.

EAT THEM!
Sorry, I had to. I just spent about 4 hours detailing my car and my front bumper looks like a golf ball. I really think this paint is horrible. If you find something that works let me know.

I had a few nice scrapes on the side of my car, near the wheel well, I can only assume rocks from my wider than stock tires.
anyway, I used the touchup pen, just barely pout some paint on there, let it kinda seem into the chip. dry, then put the clear coat on. if you get right up on it you can see the ridges of the edges, but atleast the color match is 100% dead on, and the only thing you see is the ridges no sign of paint loss.
Id call it a 1foot fix, perfect from over a foot away.

I just picked up this stuff called Touch Up Magic:

You can blob on the touch up paint, then use this stuff to level the blob even with the surface of the paint. It works really well, and is ideal for scratches.

I forget how much, 10$ or so. they have just little bottles of pain for like under 5$. no clearcoat, not sure how that matters or not. but I figured you only really buy it once, got the pen.
