Goddamit - rant of the day
Coming home from work a hour ago, this semi trailer to decides drive in the center lane of the highway up front and just throw rocks everywhere behind. Everyone was frantic. I quickly jumped to the leftmost lane and gunned to pass it.
When I got home, I parked in the sun and inspected the front. Yup, at least 10 new paint chips. On a black car, they just look like white dots everywhere.
I'm effin pissed. I'm gonna use touch up paint, but I wish I had the money to just repaint the entire front end.

How about the dump trucks that come right out of the site just filled with chunks of rocks and dirt!
My car is black too and I can't understand why the primer underneath is white.
Today I bought a Dupli-color thing that acually has a ball point pen tip. I think it might work well with the really small chips.
I also have magic marker type paint pen from www.autosharppen.com
This one you order by paint code for a really close match. I have also used tooth pics in the past with decent results.
I feel for you!!

Yes Pissang, I think thats the same product :justbecause referred to right after newtons original message, I have used it too,its a hell of a lot easier to do chips with the ball point head..
