if it just a chip the paint will work. You have to clean it first. use some palmolive and water first. Then clean with rubbing alcohol. Let dry and proceed to paint carefully.
Now if it is a gash or a crater, then you will need some bondo. Clean it, bondo it, and touch up with paint. Just like filling nail holes in the wall.
