Thanks guys! :D
I just got a bit brave and sanded it some more. I couldn't stand the little bump. So I was very careful and I think I will stop here.
Buffed it out and used Scratch-X and Zymol, again, of course.

Thanks once again for your guidance, Paul! :D

Ooh, even better! Now it just looks like a little water spot.

Joey that's an amazing result. The colour matching is spot on. Nice job on the sanding too. Much better than I could do I would venture to say. :D

You really need to see the "before" pic to have any idea where the chip was! What a fine job Joey! :D
