chip paint cover

It's called "touch-up paint".

Ask for touch-up paint. You will need the color code from the driver's door sticker.

If the dealer does not carry your color code, you can also try your local auto parts store.

Comes in a small bottle with a built in brush. You'll need your paint code located inside the drivers door. Last one I purchased was less than $10, not bad for factory paint.

Sure; it's known as "touch-up paint." It's sold in plastic cylinders that are maybe five inches long, and have a small brush attached to the inside of the cap. The person you talked to was either lying or an idiot.

When you go back to the dealership to buy some touch-up paint, don't just try to describe the color you need. Get the color code from the door plate of your car. They'll probably also ask for the year and model.

By the way, some of the newer touch up paint containers have a pen applicator in addition to a brush so you can put a dot of paint down in a small chip area. I haven't tried it yet but it seems like a good idea.

Have you considered asking your mom for a pin? ;)

Sounds like a good idea for the tiny little spots - I use a toothpick with some success too.

I used to use the torn end of a paper match...(now I just get the dealership to do it...)
