After returning from a recent road trip I noticed a few very small rock chips in the paint. Any idea how to professionally fix this? I read about some kit a while back but can't seem to find it. They are to deep to buff out.

sixgun,
I am in the same boat as you. Take a look at this site I found.
Touch Up Kit
Does anyone have experience with this product?
