touch up paint works fine for the rock chips... it's like $4 for the little bottle, got it from schuman they had it in stock.

Use a cutip (sp) from your mom's makeup bag to apply it.

Wet sand it with like 1000 grit just to get it flat.

Polish, Buff and wax that mo fo.

You can probably find a much more detailed instruction by doing a google search. But that's more or less it.
