Default "?"Question about rock chips...

And,no,I did'nt use the search,mainly because,I want to know,if there are new products,new techniques,etc...
I have a few rock chips,on the front bumper,a couple on the hood also,nothing big,about that size,* *,and I'd like to fix them,before winter storage.
I heard about "The Pen",or using paint applied with the tip of a matche,etc..
But,I'd rather keep the chips as they are,rather than make it worse...
So,any new gadgets to fix those,???
Thank's,
-Emil.

I've heard some really good feedback about this product . . .

http://www.touchup123.com/

I haven't used it myself, but my understanding is that it's much easier to work with than traditional touch up paint. It applies pretty much like a wax, but is permanent like paint once it fully cures.

Yes,just ordered the 123touch-up kit.($45.00 shipped to my place.!!!)
I will let you,guys,know how it works out;can't be any worse than the "matches and paint" touch-up.
I will post pics,before and after.!!!

I can't wait to see your review Emil. Glenn (g-s2k) & Erick (elmmx5) from the New England club recently ordered this system for their black S2Ks, but I haven't heard from them yet how it went. In fact, I'm not sure they received it yet.

Yes, I will be curious too. There are a couple of places i'd love to touch up but feel like touch up paint can leave it looking worse most of the time. This could be a great answer. Keep us posted.
