Hyundai sell a paint pen that is the same colour as the cars.  I think it was around $35.

I have one and use it each time I seen a stone chip, which is basically every couple of months.

I have the paint protection warranty on the car, so they will do it for free, and probably should so they don't try to say it voids the warranty

I wont tell if you don't .. :D

It is very hard to make a good job of touching up metallics unfortunately. The secret is to use as little paint as possible and just a little dab ( don't do a brush strike)

Won't cover stone chips - only fading, discolouration etc.

Really? ? You need to make a complaint then..... its not like they are painting a full panel of the car. It's one dip of a toothpick in a small paint bottle and cover the spot. There should be no charge
