I agree with Max - that Autoglym SRP can work like this. If the chip is a bit bigger then you need touch up paint and the finest possible artist's brush (from an art shop). Also you need some sort of pad to support your wrist (like a professional signwriter uses).
Then let the paint dry for about 8-10 minutes only, and buff it with polish or the very mildest cutting agent, whilst it is still malleable. This takes the 'edges' of the paint blob out.

I've had good results from this, on light scratches.

Very, very useful to know George. Thanks.

For anyone who hasn't got "bare metal" as yet, I guess that masking-off and 3 or 4 coats of spray can clearcoat might suffice?

(Or depending on the colour of your Jimny, Stone Chip paint might be even be better - but that requires accurate masking!)

Thanks for the heads-up, George.

I live a couple of hundred yards from the sea, so will need to have a look at the paint on mine.

Hi George, you may be well ahead of me - but have you tried auto plastic restorer? Gtechniq C4 and Meguiars Ultimate Black are probably two of the best.

On the other hand, if you are decided on painting the grill then the following has some good ideas. (Just grit-your-teeth every time the presenter says "NICE!")

Conversely, if money is no object then you could try a whole vehicle wrap, including the grill.

Swap the greys and blacks of the H&R design for sand and brown and you really would have Andy's "Desert Camo". You would stand out in the city and blend-in in the Bush. Perfect!
