paint, touch up?
While washing my car last night, i noticed that a chip in my rear bumper has gotten a little worse, and it has even started to spider out a little.
What is the best way to take care of this and make it look like new and where should i go to get this done. Not looking to spend a ton money, but i dont want it to get any worse either.
I know stl Acura uses waynes autobody for their body work, and i was not super pleased with their work on my integra. Does Napleton use them also?

Greg's comes highly recommended.
Touch up paint on these cars does not blend well, but will work. If you are looking for a cheap fix, get a touch up pen

Perfect job on a recent parking lot mishap that resulted in a repair/paint match on the driver's side door and rear quarter panel. Greg's shop does a professional job.If you want to cry over imperfections - I got a handful (!) to show in both the front and rear bumpers. Almost 60k on this MY02... The OEM paint touch up bottle (purchased at Napelton) has done it's job for me - and then some.

Let me know and any tips for applying would be good.

Yes, I touched up a similar-sized chip in the front quarter panel, where the plastic wheel well stops and the body paint is exposed (probably caused by a rock). I ignored it long enough for rust to appear 
Got some rust remover, treated it, then touched it up. It's obviously a novice job and stands out like a sore thumb if you know where to look. Plan on making many very thin coats to fill in the hole, then apply some clear coat. Be sure to shake the paint bottle thoroughly every time, too.
Nice to hear from you rpstl!
