I hate the first chip.

It's just the patina your bike gets from being ridden. I think it shows your bike is happy. I've see a lot of 5 year old show bikes without a single fingerprint, but only 200 miles on the clock. Happy bikes? I think NOT.

First clue is the mileage on the worn out lawn chair that sits next to the bike.
