Paint chips all over my 02 ml320 :(

when i first bought it, it had about 4 paint chips in the front half of the car.... today, it has over 30 of them, about 8 of them are about 1/4 inch in diameter.... what would be the cost of repairing these at the dealership? (btw, im still under warranty)

good luck with a warranty repair, best the dealer will do is blob a bunch of touch up paint on your hood for free. A few companies air spray paint chips and dealerships sub out work to them, they do a decent job. You would have to respray your hood which would cost around 500-600 dollars for a good job to get rid of all the paint chips.
