Car was chipped NOT the good kind

Hi all, was out driving earlier and heard a pebble hit the car. It has a chip about 2mm in diameter on my door.

Anyone recommend a product or way to fix it?
I had a quick search but said I may as well ask

There is a host of options depending on how bad it is. I've bought small jars of mixed-on-the-spot paint in motors factors and sorted it myself in the past, but that might not work for you.

Any chance of a pic?
I take it there is a dent? Is it deep, through primer?

I've used touchup kits where you get a base coat matching the colour code of the car and lacquer, you basically build up the base coat until it's level with the rest of the paint around it and then put the lacquer coat over it. Results are ok, it will still be noticeable even when the colour matches 100% looking like someone put a droplet of varnish on the area. Another option is to get one of those Chipsaway companies to do it, probably overkill for one chip on the car though.
