is it chipping by itself or chipping from debris from the street? If it's chipping by itself you might want to do more preventive stuff. Debris nothing can be done almost unless you want to re-clearcoat it. Then invest on a clear bra.

any vinyl shop/tint shop can do it for you. but it's just clear vinyl that goes over the hood.
