Stone Chip (windshield and hood)

I have some small stone chips, one on the hood, one on the front bumper and one my windshield. I got all three of these from one trip. Now I know why one of my friend avoids highways if at all possible.

I went to apple autoglass once on a windshield repair and it was 60-70$. This time I'm going to try Speedy Auto Glass and Canadian Tire to see if it's any cheaper.

Any recommendations on repairing the stone chips on the hood and front bumper. I've been contemplating getting the touch up paint from the dealer, but if mismatched colours may make it worse. Any idea how much it would cost to have someone touch it up? And any place that you'd recommend?

Thanks

For the stone chips on the hood you could look @ something like this.

I've touched up a few really small stone chips on my hood with the BMW touch-up paint from the dealer and find it works and matches the colour fine.

Have you tried this stuff yourself? I've heard of it but i'm always skeptical about these products. However, the demo photos looks very promising.
