Chips in paint

Hey guys. Washed the jeep and noticed some chips in my paint all the way down to the metal. What's the best way about filling these in? Matching touch up paint?

just joking, find out your paint code and you could get a little bottle from jeep or try to match up the paint with the little bottles at the parts houses

Be sure to coat the area with clear after the color... It will also seal any gap...
