Dr. Color Chip is the best I've ever used. Very difficult to see the fix.

Be proactive-I had "Paint Protection Film" also known as clear bra fitted on my cars. A small investment to protect these cars. And it actually works

A good automotive body shop should be able to color match your paint and provide a small amount of paint for you to do it - or better, do it themselves. Once fixed the only sure way to provide continuous protection is to have a "clear bra" - as Alan has noted - applied to everything ahead of the doors. The concours judges don't like it, but then most of them don't drive their cars anyway.
