yeah kinda hard to say or give advice without seeing what you want to fix.

Use a bottle of touch up paint to fix the scratch or chip. Dont use the brush it comes with it will make a ugly glob mess that will probally look worse than if you didnt even fix it.

Just take a small toothpick and slowly fill in the area. May take several trys allowing it to dry each time till its slightly raised above the surface area of the paint surrounding it. Then very lightly take some fine sandpaper the kind used for sanding clear coat to sand it down to a flat level. Then some polish and wax and will look good as new.
