Best way to touch up paint chips?

[Schweppy]

Noticed 2 marks, 1 in the door and 1 in the rear bumper.

They have gone down to the metal/plastic so how should i go about touching them up?

Try a smart repair bloke first, Rich has the number for a good bloke iirc.

If not i rekon it will need the panel's painting mate.

Anyone got any DIY methods?

Only real way to DIY is to fill it with paint and clearcoat then wet sand it down and machine polish to finish.

theres a company near me that come round to your house in a van and do chips and scratches and that all they do to .
