Question Paint Touch Up

I've got a couple of minor paint chips that should be dealt with before I store it before winter. Should I just get some touch up paint & clear coat at the Ford dealer or get this done professionally?

I have never had any luck with touch up paint. I always put it on to thick. If you take your time and layer it you should be alright otherwise spend the 60 or 70 bucks to have it fixed. the 60 or 70 is just a guess

Get a touch up stick. Use a toothpick to apply it and then just let it sit while stored for the winter. In the spring, use Langka to remove the blob it created. it will smooth it right out to be even with the rest of you paint. The stuff works great.

If they are that minor I sure wouldn't pay to have it done when you can easily do it yourself. I am pretty sure I could teach an 8 year old how to follow the Langka process. I'd say order the stuff because after all, these are not going to be the only stone chips you get.
