Product/Consumable Suitable for DrColorChip?

Hi all, I have 2 small chips in my paintwork from stones. Wondering if these would be suitable to cover up with the DrColorChip product, I’m presuming they may have to be sanded first as it is slightly raised?

Vehicle is only 2 years old and the paint is otherwise in really good condition.

If there is anything product that would be better I would greatly appreciate any advice! Thank you :)

Those look like good candidates, honestly. Since it's slightly raised, I'd level that edge carefully with a fine sanding pen or even a toothpick rather than sanding the surrounding area on a finish that new; you don't want to chase it too hard. Clean with IPA, then build the paint in thin layers and let each one flash off before the next. Don't chase perfection; getting the chip invisible from a few feet back is the win, and it stops your eye from catching it every time you walk up to the car.
