This website has a great guide to repairing paintchips for the truly obsessive, plus quite a few other good diy articles.

Lost this link for a while, then found it again after some googling. Wanted to post it here before i lost it again

Have you seen the DrColorChip product? I've tried it and it works extremely well.

I have, but everybody says you can still see the chips from a couple feet away. If you use actual, color matched paint, and the process above, vs the modified dr colorship paint, I feel like it could give better results. For a ton more work, to be sure.

I have quite a few chips on the bumper, and 2 or 3 larger ones in other more visible places. I'm thinking of doing dr colorchip for the bumper ones and the process above for the more visible ones.

I've had good results with DrColorChip. Why not give that a try first before you buy all the other stuff? You may find that it works well enough for the more visible ones. I find that if you follow their directions meticulously, repairs can be very hard to detect.
