    Just go to a reputable body shop and get a quote and start there.

    I have a clear bra and still have three rock chips up my hood that are all the way through the paint. No rust and the truck is almost 14. My bra doesnt cover everything.

    What I hate about the clear bra is it fades with time and looks horrible. It costs tons to have then removed and redone. I'm wondering if they are even worth it since I coukd have repainted my hood for the cost of these things.

    Consumer Reports says that all the paint protection applications dealers sell are worth no more than a wax job.

    @JimBeam thanks for cleaning up the thread.

    I appreciate all the advice so far. I'm taking her to the dessert this week and hopefully wont get any more chips. After I get back I will address this issue. Thanks for the comments.

    FTFY. Dessert is what you eat when you're in the desert.

    Pep Boys sells exact match paint pens that work extremely well. I was able to color match my last truck and it applied perfectly.
