Search Search Search. Nah joke. If its alot and its deep, you'll need to get it resprayed.

they are down to the metal...but they are not overly big and they are not exactly littered over the car, its just there are probabaly about 20 of them, and i wanted to see what i could do about it.

You can try one of those chip sticks they advertise on tv. Looks like a lip stick, and it fills in the chips then you polish. Thing is with white i still dont see the point. Everything can be seen. No harm tryin first.

Tell u wat to do that works for me.... Test it out some where hidden first....Get cutton bud and fill the chip up, then back up sum paint to make a hill on it...wait for it to dry then get sum turp on cotten and just whip the excess paint off....what should happen is, it leaves the paint inside the chip and wipes the rest off....if you get what i mean.
