Duplicolor has a kit that fills in paint chips and scratches. Go to there website and see if they have your color.

or just go to the honda dealership and ask for a little container of touch up paint..i got some for free when i bought my car,its the size of a nail polish with a little brush

I didnt know this, does it work pretty good? Do you know how much it was, even though you got it free?

I went to Duplicolor's website and they did not have my color only color for 1997 honda/acure was blacks, silvers and reds no green. i guess i might go to the honda dealer here and see if they have any paint.

Note, wetsanding is not for the faint of heart; however the first part of the writeup (the chip filling) should help.

FOr my little bottle of paint from the dealer was only like 6 bucks... I cant figure out how my car gets hit so much by rocks. I also have a VW, audi and benz and they have all been incredibly lucky with rocks
