Depending on how severe it is, you can try some of the over the counter paint repair systems. There have been recent reviews of the touchup-123 product system here on the forum. Give it a read!

Are you talking about a C6 or another gen of Corvette. I assume if it is a C6 on the clear plastic, there is not much you can do if the chip is very deep.

Do a search on Langka. If you have many little chips/road rash then go with TouchUp 123.

I think what the original poster is saying is that he has a chip on the clear headlight covers of a C6.

The covers over the C6 headlights are not made from glass, they are a hard plastic of some sort. I doubt this would be what you would use on them.

I have a small chip in one of the covers on my C6 on the drivers side, it is very small about the size of the head of a pin, I am not going to try to repair it.
