For paint chips you can make them dissapear with a little care & some time.

Basically.... get Ford tuch-up paint.
Sand the rough edges of the chip w/600 grit sandpaper.
Clean thuroughly.
Use a tooth pick & start to fill the chip (not all at once) Let it dry for a few hours, then put another coat. Repeat until the paint is slightly raised over the rest of the car.
Use 1000 grit to level the paint, finish off with 1500 & 2000 respectively.
Polish area with a medium polish (swirl remover). Finish off with a fine polish. Wax the area.

I'm too tired to type this stuff again in detail....
Go to www.properautocare.com for more detail.
