You obviously can just do a full on repaint of the bike, but if your goal is to get 100 bucks profit, paint job is not cost efficient.
Sorry, but I would never do this. The fix is not permanent, and I consider it to be pretty shady.

It is really a simple matter to touch up these chips with a paint brush and a small can of rustoleum gloss black. I believe you should fix a bike properly or leave it alone. Hiding problems is unethical.
