rock chip touch up paint

Where's the best source for a little vial of touch up paint for two real small rock chips on my hood?

Your results vary directly with how closely you follow the instructions. It will never equal a respray, but the results are more than acceptable from ten feet.

I have used the below eBay seller a couple times. They have great customer service and their paint colors have been spot on. And, it is under $10.

+1. Good stuff.

But they could have named it "finger paint your car" instead...

Paul,
Did Bob do one spot/chip or an area (road rash) on your car?

Bob did over 20 chips and a couple of scratches. Looks like new.

thanks for all of the advice. I just have a couple of tiny rock chips that I want to fill on the hood before any rust gets a chance to set in. I'm taking the front bumper wrap off this year to get it resprayed.
