You can get a little bottle of touchup paint at the dealer. After you shake it really well, you can dap a 'Little' bit on the chip, but DON'T use the brush in the bottle. Use a paper match out of a matchbook. ( use the torn end )
You'll need the paint code which is on a label on the driver door jam. Write down each code you find and the parts guy will know which one he needs.

Depends on the spot that you are touching up is small or big? If it is small you can buy a touch up bottle from your local parts store! Your paint code is located at the drivers door not on the door when you open it but on the pillar! Write it down and bring it to the parts guy and he will figure out the rest!! If it is a bigger spot that needs painting go to a couple of bodyshops and get a estimate they do not need to paint the whole car they can blend the paint in!! Good luck!!

You can buy touch up paint at an auto parts store. They'll have a catalog where you can look up the make & model of your car, and it will tell you which paint to pick up. You can also call up any Honda dealership where they service cars and buy a small bottle through them... (usually about $8.00). The problem you're going to have is you'll probably keep chipping paint from that same spot. There may be rust underneath... and that will continue to chip. If you don't want to repaint the car, just keep touching it up from time to time.

Ok.. .first off honey... I never want to hear you say "I need help cause I'm a girl"!!! Its sad! Cause you can do whatever you need to do... don't use that excuse... :o)
And you don't' need a guy!!!
On to your question... You can get some touch up paint and try to get it to match fairly close to your car color... you may have the problem that your color is faded from the sun and age though... If you have the $ and time available repaint your car... but if the area is small most of the time you really can't tell that much... The choice is yours :)

the easiest way to take care of this problem is to take the car back to dealer that you bought it from and ask them to color match some touch up paint for your car.

You said you where a chick right?
Just go to the local pharmacy and buy some matching nail polish to cover it up.
Duh?!?!
