Rock Chip And Scratch repair
 
Anyone know someone that can do spot repair on rock chip damage to the hood?

Alternatively i was thinking of
-trying my hand at using touch up paint with a 3000 grit wetsand + compound.
-Dr colorchip
-looks like it mtay work, but some of the rock chips are deep which means id have to fill with multiple layers

By leveling fluid do you mean add paint then layers of clear to get it flush.

Maybe ill try this guide.

I had a huge rock chip the size of a meteor crater. I had painted it with touch up paint, waited to dry, painted over it, repeated like 3 times and it was looking better. Albiet it didn't look perfect

Buddy of a buddy of a buddy I have owns a place called "Chips Away". Never been there, but my buddy recommended it if I ever needed chips fixed up on hood or bumper. I believe it's in or near the white rock auto mall.

If you follow these steps closely, the results should be very promising.

Like the idea of the paint leveling fluid system . No sanding Is there anywhere locally were we can pick some up?

I'm not suggesting you do this but I used nail polish remover and it works. Damp piece of paper, wrap it around a credit card.

Mine came out great.
