Dunno, but I'll 2nd the question...

I'm bad about getting lil chips/dings...

My first RL I got a chunk taken out of front bumper when a loose hubcap(steel from like an oldsmobile or something) came flying at me on the highway... wedged up under the engine...
And this was 6 days after I bought the car...

I did a lil better on my 2nd RL...
made it 6 whole weeks without a nick... but then I went to a club and the parking lot was completely packed... so I drove around a few times... finally gave up and parked far away in some tiny compact car spaces
sure enough when i left the club there was a good old door ding on my passenger side and a scrape on my back right bumper corner
inconsiderate bastards....

so yeah, I know you can buy touchup paint from the dealer but if there's another easy method that would rock

I do have a small touchup can of blue paint from the old RL that I never opened... If someone wants it I'll send if you pay shipping

If the paint is chipping, you may have a bad primer when the company painted the car. I would take it back to the dealer if still under warranty and make them repaint it.
