Giant Paint Chip on Roof. What To Do..?
I'll post a picture later, but I had a tiny nic (lesson learned, touch it up right away, people, trust me) on my roof from where a truck flung a pebble up over my car..It's been there for quite awhile, it really wasn't a big deal. Anyway, went to the self wash yesterday (I've done this 100 times since I got this chip btw..Again, no big deal) and the high pressure sprayer ripped a 2x3" hunk of paint off! It looks awful!
So, now I gotta figure out what to do..Car is white and I COULD wrap the roof, but I'm not a fan of the black roof white car thing (just so played out); maybe a matte white wrap? The chip really is too big to simply touch up. I could repaint the car, but the rest of the car really doesn't need it..Paint looks great otherwise.
Anyone got any ideas?

I've been in exact situation as you mah man! I was in the self car wash, quarter size paint chip on the hood got worst with pressure wash and peeled the paint almost the size of a palm hand. Ended up re-painting hood and bumper as well.
I have a trusted body shop that does a good job but you have to drive here to OC if that would be an option for yyou.

Not even close especially since you're IP. You need a professional prep and paint job that blends the new with the old for a presentable fix. IIRC IP is a 3 stage paint and the hardest Infiniti paint to get right.......
