I've got a couple small chips above a taillight, I think from using at as a 'truck'. I knew this would happen sooner or later!
I'm lookin' for a quick/easy solution too.

I picked up some factory touch up paint, and a clearcoat refinishing kit from my dealer, and successfully repaired a scratch in my front air dam caused by a landscape timber which jumped in front of me.
There are also guy's using airbrushes, who make a living out of touching up used cars for dealers. If you call some used car dealers in your area, you may be able to locate one. Even the larger new car dealers in my area use these guys as they usually work faster and cheaper than there own body shops.

Good Luck!

check with the eastwood company i think they have a touchup kit that is a lot better than a bottle of paint. a lot of people with showcars use it because a rock chip could be the difference in 1st and 2nd place.

Thanks for the ideas, I think I'll try the kit myself. I like a challenge every now and then.
