Default paint chips

Alright, I really love the look of my '01 BLACK c5. Like the rest of you who own a black c5, every time I drive it, I swear I find a new chip somewhere in the paint. So where is the best place to find the right paint to fill in those chips? Best price and product. I've read about possibly using a colored wax as temp. fix but haven't found any. Any help would be appreciated!

That's correct, the dealership is where you will get the best matched paint. Look into Langka for more information.
