chips wont come out. And claying may only make it worse (it will grab some of the paint around the chipped areas. Autozone sells touchup pens that i have used in the past, they have a book listing car's make and model, then ou find your code and find the pen. It matched pretty good for me. I used it to touch up a scratch on my front bumper. Look at my sig, can you see it? hint: its under the driver side headlight.

Nope, used autozone touch up before and it worked fine. Just be sure to get a clear coat pen to seal the paint afterwards.
