Oh Nooooooooooooo!

I've had my Camaro 2 years,6000 miles and I got my first gill chip!
What should I do? Any suggestions? The chip is about a 1/16 of an inch in diameter.

If it's on the paint, get Dr. ColorChip. It works wonders.

normal wear and tear, not covered. Touch up paint is your best option.

it happens, but touchup paint is a fix.

Then there's a complete repaint (extreme)

When I bought a new Saturn, the second day a truck flung a rock and it chipped the paint on my hood. I took it by the dealership the next day to buy some touchup paint. They just gave me a bottle. Man I miss saturn's customer service. They were the best.

Holy ripoff. ^^^

Get a touchup pen that has the ball tip on it. Dab the chip until you layer the paint to the same height.
