For chips? Depending on how big they are touch up paint will fit as a TEMP. FIX.

People don't seem to realize that touch-up paint is applied with a brush, and not used with any clear obviously which will make it stand out and look distorted. It should be used for areas in which they are barely visible.

But for instance, If you had numerous chips in a bumper, you would have to have it repainted obviously

Can you get a pictures? Has it been painted before? Cracking and chipping are different but if its cracking or chipping on a metal panel dont wait to have it fixed...... water will get in there and it will RUST! Then it will be harder to fix, and more money.
