First of all, welcome to the most informative site on the web when it comes to petro collecting.
I`ve had good luck touching up small chips (quarter size or smaller) with cheap white nail polish from Wal-Mart. If there`s rust in the chip use a small wire wheel to remove the rust & wipe clean. Apply 1st coat of nail polish. Let it dry and apply another. Keep adding coats until the white matches the porcelain white. Hope this helps. Greg Brown
PS You`re not very far from where I live. E-mail me if you need any more help. I`m listed in the collectors roster on this site.

I too will bid you welcome. If you go to a good plumbing business or home center you will find that they carry porcelain touch up paint used for sink and tub repair. Never have tried nail polish, but the sink touch up paint is thick enough that did a good job for me. Just a thought. I do believe that you will enjoy this sight, I know I have.
