    Touch up paint. I have one that come with separate paint and clear. Touch it up, then buff it smooth, white is the most forgiving color.

    I deeply sympathize with all and it really pisses me off as well when it happens. :infantry:

    I've got a similar rock chip on mine, but it's on the drivers side. Drives me nuts as well. Not sure I can use touchup pain as mine is also gouged a bit.

    If you can get the business name and number of the truck, they will have to pay! They are responsible for securing their cargo.

    I hate gravel trucks with a fucking passion because of this. I'm anal about my truck, but if a random rock pops up on my truck then it is what it is. If a gravel truck spits rocks, then fuck that truck and fuck that company! You cant just let it fly out of the back of your gravel trailer.

    I've got a total of 7 chips in my windshield right now due to construction on the freeway. I have to pass this area twice a day and it sucks. I'm holding out until the construction is done before getting a replacement.
