I had a few rock chips so i cleaned them up with touch-up paint and got a clear bra put on. front end looks 10 times better and i've heard rocks hit my lip/hood since then but havent recieved any more battle scars

when you use touch up paint is it obvious you used it.....and also will it be obvious that i used it 5 or even 10 years from now

You have to be pretty close to notice touch-up paint on a car. You can't really see it from a distance or at certain angles.

It sucks, i have dozens of chips on my car, touch up paint does a good job no one can notice it unless you are literally within 2-3 feet of the actual chip. (from eye to surface)
