No problem

Some kind of "air brush" method like you describe, done by someone who knows what they're doing, is definitely the next best thing and the very best option really. When I briefly sold Toyotas in Dallas about 10 years ago, we had a guy that could do some amazing work. Unfortunately, there are a lot of hacks out there. As long as you trust your friend's talent, I say give it a shot.

One other thing: try not to let it bother you too much. I'm anal as hell about my cars and that chip bugged the shit out of me when it first happened. But here we are about 6-7 weeks later, the chip is fixed and barely noticeable, and it doesn't really bother me anymore. On any car that is driven daily, these things are going to happen. This is especially true with these new water-based paints, which are supposedly much more prone to chipping.
