Default Rock chip solution.. yes and verified!

These oil base markers are FANTASTIC! Many colors to choose from. I had a number of unsightly small chips on the nose and front hood of my black '04 vert...tried everything including, marks-a-lot, auto touchup paint, etc....they either didn't match, left a blemish or an unsightly bubble of paint that did not settle level or difficult to apply. I tried the oil base Paint marker below hoping it would match and dry level....LIKE I SAID: FANTASTIC! Cheap, dries level, no bubble and from standing in front of the car...looks great and extremely easy to use. You can practice on unseen locations to prove the results.

Unfortunately, I don't think they have any that would properly match Magnetic Red II.

To the OP: What color is your car and how did the generic color on amazon match?

He stated it was a black 04. You must have missed that.

Time will tell how long it holds up to UV without having a clear over it.
