Black is Black so I went to a car parts store and bought one of those tubes of touch up paint that is about the size of a roll of dimes. Didn't clear coat it or do anything else. The trick is to get good tiny micro brushes. Bought a tube of them off the internet. Cost more to ship then to buy. The brush is a small plastic stick with a little daub of cotton on the end. The smaller the better. With a little bit of practice you can fill the chip hole evenly. When you get more than a dozen then it's time to see a pro.

If you are going to paint the hood, paint the nose as well. I also had the gray grill painted to match the car. Looks real nice.
