Paint Chip !!! looking for some advice

Hey Guys !

So weeks ago I had someone bump into my rear while i was at a red light. -_-

I have a GLC300 in white with the night package. I had a clear bra applied on the front portion and ceramic coating over that and throughout the rest of the exterior.
He hit my bumper going at a slow speed and his lisence plate left somewhat of a mark. I guess the ceramic coating helped a bit with some of the scratch parts as I was able to rub it off with my finger. Only thing is there are 2 small small paint chips but since my car is white, you can see the 2 black marks .

I'm almost wondering if i had the clear bra applied in the back would that have helped with the paint chip.

Looking for some advice on what I should do. I have the paint correction.

Is it safe to get one of those small fluid writer pens to dab some white paint into the chip and do it myself?
I contacted some shops in and around my area, they are charging me around 60-80 bucks for them to fill in the chips. If i wanted them to repaint the bumper that would be around 400 bucks which sounds not like the most practical decision for 2 small chips.

What I really want is to just fill it in but have it fully blended in and not even noticable.

Any input on my situation would be much appreciated!
And here I was trying to prevent my car from having any scratches and chips at all -_-

Leave them or have the whole bumper painted. Personally I'd rather see two small chips like that than some half-assed attempt to cover them up. A repaint also won't look the same as the original Mercedes paint.

Did you just walk away without getting all of their info?

Try the Dr Color Chip system, be patient and apply slowly should yield good results for you, at least more pleasant to the eyes.

I second Dr. Color Chip. For about $50 its a pretty easy and straight forward fix that is about as close as your going to get having a body shop respray it,$$$. Done correctly you really have to look at it to see it was repaired.
