yep, that just happened
Riding to work today on the interstate a semi threw a rock the size of a baseball at me. I saw it coming and dropped my head so that it wouldn't hit my shield. It hit right above and and took a chunk out of the paint, about the size of a pea. I actually thought it would be worse but still pissed, helmet is only 4 months old. Any suggestions on how to do a fix on it? Or at least stop it from spreading

Maybe a little 5-minute epoxy...

Mix a little on some scrap cardboard and put a thin layer on the affected area. I have been doing this for 2yrs now and it works out very well. I learned this trick via trial and error from riding Nelson Ledges race track. The chunks of tarmac that would come up and be thrown at you are enough to make a clean hole through your radiator.  Go with epoxy, it straight up works and is hard... a little goes a long way and will dry transparent. If you want to touch it up before the epoxy layer that should work too. Just get complete coverage of the area.
