Hour old rock chips

Picked up my MY on Friday and unfortunately the highway was being repaired and loose rocks across all lanes. I now have chips in the plastic and one on the metal hood. Need to get this fixed ASAP but touch up paint is sold out. Any recommendations?

Wow, that sucks! Glad I got my MY PPF'd as soon as I could.

Check out this video. He compares the Tesla kit with Dr. ColorChip. Some interesting results (TL;DR: he ultimately picks Dr. ColorChip).

Based on the size of my chips the pen looks interesting. Anyone have experience with the pens?
I got the Tesla pen years ago for my Model S. It was awful. Maybe others can get good results out of a pen, but it never seems to go well for me. I ended up yanking the tip and getting the paint out with a brush. Later on I repaired some chips with Dr. Colorchip, and those look better. I've had mixed results with Langka, but want to try it again because theoretically it should be better for chips (and especially larger chips).
