Chipped Paint
I have a brand new 2008 C6 Coupe Crystal Red Metallic. I have had it one month and washing it yesterday I found two very small spots on the hook where the paint is chipped from probably a small pebble. It is just a little bigger than a pin head but it is driving me crazy. Do I go to a body shop or is there an easier way?

If it's a daily driver then buy some touch up and look at langka products.
I use their touch up kit and it works well.

I would agree with the Langka advice above. You can order touch up paint from any GM dealer for your car or from a website Automotivetouchup.com.
As an aside, don't be concerned if you get it from the dealer but your bottle of touch up paint will come labelled as Crystal Claret, not Crystal Red. The marketing name is Crystal Red, the actual paint color is called Crystal Claret.
