If there's a small chip in the paint, is there anyway to fix that besides going through expensive body shops? And when i mean small i mean less then an inch

Touch up paint? It's like $10 at the dealership.

People on here have recommended Dr. Colorchip in the past. I haven't used it myself, so can't vouch for it. Just throwing the idea out there.

they color match, there is a color code on a plate on your door frame.

You have to look pretty close to see that it's been touched up.

So, you don't think the touch up paint from the dealer is good enough?

Wow old bump. But I am curious too as I never head of this product before. I think I'm gonna have to order some for some minor rock chips on my bumper.
