OK, so far nobody has told you what to do other than live with it. I agree with you I could not live with it.
To fix it. Go to your local hobby shop and match up the paint as closely as possible. You will be able to get very close. Then the big thing here is patience.
Take an ultra fine paint brush and dab a small amount of paint into the chipped area.
make sure you have a small cloth with alcohol or mineral spirits, to wipe off any excess around the chip. Then LEAVE IT ALONE TO DRY. Let it dry for a couple of hours then apply a little more until it is flush with the rest of the paint. Then let it dry for a day or so and polish it with a fine polish. You will be hard pressed to see the chip. The big thing is to get a close match. I have done this with white pearl metalic and you could not see the fix.
