Default how to fix paint chip

I was driving back from work yesterday on the highway when a SUV in front of me kicked up a piece of junk (maybe car part that fell off another car). Anyhow, the junk hit my bumper and then bounced off my hood. Talk about unlucky-- now I have 3 scratches on my car (each a bit larger than a rice grain)- paint came off to expose the black plastic. What methods are there to fix paint chips like this? I know you can use touch up paint, but that doesnt look natural. Is there anything else? My car looks all beat up! I hate SUV's!

Drive it like that for three years and accumulate as many chips as you can. I have bare metal exposed all over the place. It doesn't look pretty, but I don't want to have to touch up my car after every drive to work. I just live with it now.

For a real answer on what to do, try a SEARCH on the Wash & Wax Forum

If you do it slowly with the right tools, you should be able to hide them well enough that most people can't notice them. If you have any questions just ask. Good luck.
