Paint chips

Anyone have advice on how to get rid of these or make them less obvious. My 4.8is is covered...think the guy who had it before me ran through a stone shower...

You can get them done professionally, but I use this method, with BMW touch-up paint:

Done carefully, they are invisible. Done poorly, they are not.

Protint in Hamilton, about 5 hours. Deluxe kit. hood, fenders, mirrors, lower & upper bumper. Very difficult on the application scale so get a good installer.

and this clearshield protects the front end? I would think that it's still hitting the paint but you won't know unit you remove the clearshield once worn.
