There are quite a few ways to deal with small paint chips on your car. First assess the damage: If it's just the clear coat with no exposed base material, clean with water and apply clear nail polish as temporary protection. But if bare metal is exposed, touch up the paint immediately to prevent rust. A touch-up pen is a good option—just make sure to select the correct color code and test it on scrap material first to check color match. Apply gently to level the surface, then let it dry for several hours. For better results, professional spot repair services use specialized equipment for smoother finishes, typically costing around 100 RMB. Preventive measures include parking away from large vehicles and driving slower on gravel roads. Addressing these chips early prevents cumulative aesthetic damage.
