Most chip repairs will require wetsanding after filling the chip (followed by polishing to get rid of the wet sanding marks/scratches).
The alternative for home use is the Langka method (http://www.langka.com/) which uses a solvent to flatten the 'filled' chip.......but it's expensive (and US based I believe). It will generally still need polishing afterwards but avoids the scary bit of wetsanding.
Have a look at the following for a similar technique to Langka but using locally sourced solvent............................Oh, and of course, don't blame me if it goes wrong !!!!!!!

Colour codes are in the FAQ
One pen touch is best ordered from the stealers parts deparment for good colour match
I have a Honda Silverstone one is any needs one (too late for PL )
I've got some Langka in the garage to help me with my stone chips before I let Tangoman lose on it!

Langka is a good option for blob removal you will still notice a difference in the grain though unless you have a solid colour, wet sanding has a habit of rubbing down the other bits too.
