Be thankful that chip is not in the windshield. As others, touchup, buy the clear that goes on as well. That scratch will buff / wax out easily.

Nail polish that is close in color. At the dollar store just ask to take a few bottles outside and check them against your color. Then bring the rest back in. I have done it a lot over the years.

I had about the same amount of "damage" on my hood, I tried to diy it but it wasn't good enough for me. I ened up looking up a local touch up shop and paid 100$ to have it repaired. It was only 100 bucks because thats thier min but they asked if I had anymore chips to fix plus they removed the mismatched color from the oem J7 touch up pen. Thats my best advice. The price vs. My ocd was totally worth it lol that and it wasn't even a year old with an eye sore. Look around for a professional shop, I used a place called carsmedics ( not that I live any where near you but you get the idea) ironically its the same place my dealer uses on new vehicles. Some of these guys are true professionals and have mastered the art of paint repair and are extremely afforadable. Your deal may have a guy if you ask them. How ever you chose I wish you luck

Doctor Colorchip has helped tremendously with my Magnetic touch up over the past 5 years. Great product.
