Paint Chip repair
I own a black 2003 Box and it has 55k on it. I have been in your position before and when the chip density is as you describe, touch up paint generally does not cut it because all you tend to see is a bunch of blobs (even with some wet sanding). I would go to 3 of the better body shops in your area and get quotes to shoot the hood and bumper.
I live in MN and I was able to get an excellent job done for $800 and they used the quarters as a "let down" panel where they blended the paint into the fenders so your eye is not drawn to the paint line. Hope that made sense.
If you're planning to keep the car for a few years, (to me) the 8 bills is totally worth it.....as you car is now more or less perfect.
Good luck,
