I got one on the hood, is going to stay like that until Spring.

Don't know how it will look with touch-up paint.

Yeah, I've got two on the hood...one is HORRIBLE. I was scared to hit it with touch up making it look even more noticable. I've just left it along for now. I figured after a couple more, I will get it sprayed and put a clear bra on it; which I should have done in the beginning. If there is a way to fix it without spraying, I would do that then clear bra it.

Any ideas?

FWIW, I would avoid Dr Color Chip at all costs. I have a pearl white 370, and it didn't even come close to matching. Clear bra is a must...and for touch ups -stick to dealer paints.
