I bought the ACDelco Arctic White touch-up paint from the dealership and it worked well on a chip I got. The bottle comes with both a brush and pen applicator.

drcolorchip is a great product, google it and place your order. I have used it and as stated does a great job repairing paint chips.

Stay away from the GM touch-up paint, use the good doctor, you will be happy with results. Just google!

I PM you!

How BIG is the "chip"???? I discovered my first "ding" on my front bumper with only 750 miles and am fearful any DIY repair will be worse than the ding itself.

Can you post up a photo so we can see what you are trying to fix?

Thanks.

Auto Zone and others like it. Around $14.99. Sometimes on sale for a few bucks cheaper.

Dr Colorchip. The cyber gray they sent me was a perfect match. If the color of the touch up paint is not exactly as the paint on your car, the chip will still stand out because of the different color dot in the middle of your bumper.

The way Dr Colorchip is applied, you don't end up with a bob of touchup paint, as the touch up area is as flat as the surrounding OE paint.

Well worth the extra coin it cost over a cheap mismatched touch up pin found in an auto parts store.

When I had my Lt Carmine Metallic Red 98 C5, I had my Chevy dealer order me the correct touch up paint. Every place I used it, was a little darker than the OE paint and stood out.
