Trade it in. Or order some Dr. Color Chip

Get a tiny paintbrush & correct. Find a tiny paint & body shop, with midgets, using tiny sanders and airbrushes.

Or as mentioned above sell the thing.

Just touch it up and enjoy the car. It will happen again at some point.
How many times have we seen cars without a chip get rear ended by some idiot.

Dr ColorChip is very easy to use and matches great.

first, if the chip is on the front end it won't rust.

the ford touch up pens are the best. that combined with some 2000-3000 grit sandpaper, some time, patience, and a buffer and you can hide a LOT.

follow this guy's advice.

i just fix chips to where they are good enough to not catch my eye and bother me.

I would yell, holler, cuss and throw stuff. It's therapeutic.

Then, make a commitment to yourself that one day, when there are LOTS of them (and that day will come), you'll get a custom hood and repaint the front end. That makes the chips a good thing!

Touch it up for now and move on.

Definitely sell the car before it multiplies. Rock chips are like termites. If you spot one, you can bet more will soon follow.

Just go to the dealer and get a bottle of Touch Up Paint. Easy to use, just take your time. Or, if it is bad enough you need a "PAint Blend" Find a reliable Paint Shop to paint/Blend. Not a Big Issue to fix. Good Luck
