You can try buffing the spots out. Other than that, you will need to use some touch up paint. I have two bigger chips on my passanger side close to the back wheel that were there when I picked up my car. I didn't notice it until I washed my car though. Now I am going to have to use some touch up paint. I am thinking about taking it to a paint shop just so it can be touched up by a professional.

The last time I bought touch up was for my Accord several years ago and it came in a bottle (like white out). I guess now they have those nifty touch up pens...don't know how well they work though...
If you're a perfectionist, get it fixed by a pro. If you're not, then take a crack at it with the pen (or the sharpie as DIamondG mentioned).

I agree with you Shumby. Every time I got to a parking lot, I always wil look for the best space out parking that is there. When I get back, there is always an idiot who parks right flippen next to me. About the rock chip, I know how frustrated you are. I have OB too. Don't try to put toch up paint yourself. OB shows like no other. Even if you take it to a pro, you will still see the dull touch up marks from the non glossed bottled paint. Sorry to say but it's not really gonna look the same. This is why I always will never drive behind lifted trucks, semi's, idiots driving fast, ect. I only have one rock chip on the fender and filled it with touch up paint twice to fill in the hole. But like I said, it doesn't look te same.

^^I would imagine it looks better than when you could see the chip, right? It won't look the same but it should look better. I do agree with you that you should take it to a professional and I don't imagine it should cost a whole lot to touch up the paint.
