First Chip

Well I got my first chip on my NBP TL-S It's on the front bumper just below the headlight. its a small chip but since the car is NBP it shows up. What touch up paint do you guys recommend? And what it the best way to fix this so it will be least noticible. I don't really want the blob of paint look. Thanks

Go to the stealership and get factory NBP touch-up paint. It's a perfect colormatch, and only around $8/bottle. Your right, the touch-up paint will be noticeable, but what can you do...? There are some preparation steps you can take for a better result, but I don't know what they are exactly at the moment. Maybe you can try to search? I know this has been covered before. Hope this helps!

I did a search (several as a matter of fact) and no results on the best way to fix a chip. I thought there might be some cool tips on achieving that.

Sucks, its always the first one that bothers you and gets to you. I have a black tl myself, I have gotten quite alot of chips from everyday driving on the road. Like mention aboved getting the paint pens from the dealership works the best. Thats what I have used many times.
