Treating paint chips?

[Old_Ben]

Is there a best way to not cover up chips and blemishes to the paint work, but just treat them so the wood is protected again, but make it still looking 'beaten up'?

Thanks

Look for some coloured nail varnish that matches the bass and blob a little on

Or the clear lacquer used over car metallic finish paintwork.
