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

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.

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.
