Mike:
Frank's method works great - with a little care and time, you can make the
spot virtually invisible. I do two bits of prep before dipping the brush:
first I feather any rough edges of the chip with a tiny piece of sandpaper,
and then use a little drop of metal prep to ensure the bare spot is clean
and the paint will stick.
