Default paint chips!!!

So I have a bunch of new chips in my paint. I was scraping ice and I really messed up some parts of my paint. I'm an ice noobie cuz I live in Texas and I knew I shouldn't have even done it, but I put some chips in my paint on accident by trying to get ice off my car. There are some on drivers side door and some on the hood too, and a little on the roof. Should I just get some touch up paint from Ford, or is there anything else I can do. I want it to look like new, or cover the chips COMPLETELY. please help.

Wow you are a noob at the scraping thing. Why the hell would you scrape the ice off anything besides your windows?

I hear the touch up paint works pretty good. I also have a few scratches and chips and plan on giving it a try.

i used touch up paint on my car today. it worked out freakin sweet. its not exactly perfect but you have to be right up on it to be able to tell. patience and persistence is a plus with something like that.
