    I have about 20 rock chips in the front of rear wheels and you can barely see them. Touch up pens work great.

    Its the only place that gets peppered with rocks when offroad, i need sliders!

    Painter here. Touch up pen , bottle from dealer will do a decent job for little chips. No need for clear

    How deep are they? If you can finger nail them then it’s pretty deep? Can you see primer in scratch?

    It's just the clear coat that's scratched I think.

    You can probably hit with a little rubbing compound followed by a little wax.
