you could slowly build up the chip w/bondo or glazing putty or you could use paint that matches and do the same. You must restrain your self and only do a dab at a time. The bondo/glazing putty will shrink once it is cured. Just keep doing this until it is flush after curing. You may have to wet sand a little and then the stripe will look great and no one will know about the chip.

You definitely want to fix it before laying down vinyl. Keep dabbing paint and letting it dry to build up as suggested.
Good luck installing the Manta.
