Bicycle fell on front side of my 95 Vette, leaving some visible marks - not really scratches (not that deep), but still distressing. What products or expertise could I use to restore? Also, where could I get touch-up paint for some old road chips? While I'm at it, I might as well fix these too. The car is Purple Metallic and not a show car, but I love it, and try to keep it looking good.

There is a corvette car car section:

You should be able to 1st try a good cleaner wax and hand buff it ... if that doesn't work go with a buffer. As far as paint goes on your build sheet it has the paint code whereby you can get matching paint in either touchup or spray from most auto-parts stores. Duplicolor comes to mind.

If you can't catch a finger nail the "scratch" is likely to polish out.
I just picked up the Dupli Color "Scratch Fix All in 1" to try and improve the appearance of a few paint dings on my "new" red '89. The kit contains: abrasive tip, paint tip & brush, clear coat brush.
From the U-tube vids I don't think it will yield a perfect look but maybe better than current condition.
