Odd chips how to repair
On my 07 E-320 I have chips on the edge of the hood facing the windshield on the end of the lip. Only the driver can see it, but it is annoying. I am wondering how I can repair this? Do I need to repaint the whole hood? Can a bodyshop just touch it up? It isn't visible to anyone else but the driver or passenger. Each one is smaller than a nickel.

I purchased the Mercedes paint pen/touch up kit that matches your exact color. It includes a clear coat container also. I've yet to use it yet so I can't say how well it works. A bodyshop may be able to touch it up although painting the entire hood would probably be the best option but at much greater $$$. If its just minor I'd wait until you accumulated a few more chips/scratches before choosing to repaint the entire hood.
