Front bumper has chips in the paint
I own WDP and it has 2 chips in the paint , very small but I notice it. What are my options? Should I get touch up paint from AutoZone or just leave it alone? If Acura sells toch up paint Ill get it from there.

Make sure you use a toothpick or paper match to apply the paint, otherwise you'll get a nasty blob that you can't get rid of.

For tiny chips. trust me, dont try to use that o your car. Sure, it wil lcover the chip, but if the chip is not big enoug, it will look lile a blob, as someone else mentioned. It depends what you rather see, a paint chip or paint blob. I had a fairly large chip the size of a fingernail that got rusted on the door panel. i cleaned it off and applied the touch up paint wit ha tooth pick, you can bearly tell there was damage to the area. used it on my bumper as well, because my mother made 2 holes in my bumper with her license plate on her jeep while parking, touch up paint also made it bearly noticeable - and it was pretty bad.

The straight WDP touch up is very thin and is like applying the clear/pearl coat. You need to apply a "base" white coat first to hide the dark chip etc.
Darn near any "white" will suffice....
Good luck
