paint chipped

Doubtless others will have more ideas and I am no expert, but here's mine (lifted from someone else already):

If you can sand the spot, great. You want the paint to stick as best as it can. Tiny disc of sandpaper on the fresh eraser of a pencil if you can. Take some primer, spray in a cup or shallow dish. Dip a pin, thick hair (from a paintbrush) or toothpick in the paint and stab the bare spot with a bit of the primer. Try to use too little rather than too much. Any of these tools can get loaded with paint, so be careful.

Lay a couple of layers in over a day or two. Warmer weather will bake the paint on faster. I think curing is important and it shouldn't be rushed. There are likely beers to drink too, so take your time. You may have to quickly wipe away excess or later you may try gently rub any overage out with rubbing compound, but make sure the paint is clean and dry before any additional layers are added. Soap and water might do, but there is a specific liquid sold for cleaning grease/oil/etc off of paint surfaces that you might try. Acryli-clean or something like that. Obviously, for acrylic paint.

After at least two layers of the primer, use one or two layers of your touch up color then a clearcoat layer if you can. Since it is a small spot, you may not require it. Paint shrinks when it dries, but the multiple layers should get you flush with your original paint surface thickness. You can lightly rub down a high spot if you need to, but since you've been working the paint in that area a bunch remember not to rub too much. It would really suck to make a larger mess.

I got my touch up paint from

. It matched perfect (after a clearcoat layer!). Not a plug, just telling you what worked for me.

It is quite likely that I am forgetting something, but I hope this helps and do let us know how you fare. Oh, and I hate gravel trucks.
