I have heard pretty good things about Dr. Colorchip. I have not tried it myself but, give it a try. 60$ is a hell of a lot cheaper than a repaint :xyxthumbs:

I've used Dr. ColorChip on a black Hyundai and can vouch for it's effectiveness and ease of use. On some of the larger chips a traditional touchup and sand job would probably be as effective but DC works great on a peppered front end. With chip rash it isn't practical to try and touch up each spot, their method of smearing the paint on with a t-shirt and then removing the residue from non-chipped surfaces works well. Not perfect but it passes the 10ft test. :xyxthumbs:
