Default Paint chip fix?

I’ve only put 500 miles on her and already got a nice rock chip. Car only has 14500 miles. I just got it back from having PPF put on the front nose but this isn’t going to heal over. Sticks out like a sore thumb to me. So what is the fix with PPF on it?

are you planning a DIY repair? if not, go to your local dealer and ask them when their mobile paint repair folks will be in doing their magic and hook up with one. these folks repair 100's of these weekly and are quite good at what they do. if it's a solid color (appears to be black) should be an easy fix. figure $50-$100. if you want to try a DIY, check out any of the readily available stone chip repair kits and watch a couple youtube videos.
