Paint Chip FIX? I have a couple a small stone chips on the front bumper and hood from high speed racing with my wife. I was wondering if there was a permanent product that can be used to get rid of these chips. BTW the car is black and the other one is medium blue?

touch up paint is about all u can do....does a pretty good job as long as the chips arent to big or deep...still can be noticed...the front bumpers ( on camaros) seem to always get the chips cause there so low to the ground...so eventually if u get it repainted invest in a clear bra

Ive got a few stone chips on my hood unfortunately but ive found a good way of applying touch up paint. Get a piece of scotch tape and fold one end over so as to make a small flap for tape removal. Apply the strip of tape over the chip and press on getting rid of air bubbles (dont have to be too picky just make sure the area around the chip is sealed. With a sharp pocket knife or razor blade trace the exact contour of the chip. Just let the chip guide the knife. Take ur time and be patient. Next get the touch up paint and swipe over the hole you just created. Use the flap you made earlier to pull the strip of tape off and voila you have painted just the chipped part and theres no messy paint on unnecessary areas.
The chips you have might be a lil different. I have an aftermarket hood and thus its the only thing on the car that doesnt have factory paint. Its also the only thing on the car that ever gets chipped. I dont have any chips on my front bumper or anything. I think its due to the way the paint adheres to the fiberglass that makes it chip easily. O well, the 2 or 3 chips that I've touched up this way are pretty hard to spot since they're not messy. Hope this helps.

Tutrtle wax's color match polish and chip stick is a good/cheap temp fix that last about 1.5 to 2 months when covered with a wax. Check out your local pep boys.
