i just bought the touch up paint bottle from the dealer.. took them a couple days to get it.. then i use a fine paint brush (not the one included in the bottle) and touch it up that way.. i also usually apply wax-remover (prep-solvent) to the area before painting, so that the paint adheres correctly..

also another piece of advice on paint chips and touch up paint , when touching up really small chips use a tooth pick . Sounds crazy and yes it takes some time , but the finished touch up looks better then a blob of paint there .

exactly...., the brush that comes in the factory bottle deposits way too much paint. i use toothpicks because i control the amount of paint better and you pretty much can't see the fixes. shake the bottle, use a fine toothpick and "fill" the nick.
