Default Paint touch-up

My car has a lot of rock chips and various other paint imperfections, including a 2 foot key scratch that was there before I bought it. To make things worse, when the car was last polished it was done with a white compound. Since my car is BSP, it makes all those little imperfections look 10x worse. I've been looking for a way to make these less noticeable, without spending $2,000 to get half the car repainted. Regular touch-up paint helps, but it doesn't really look that much better - just less noticeable. I found this:

http://drcolorchip.com/

Has anyone ever tried this, or know if it works as advertised? It seems like a perfect solution if it works, but it also seems like another one of those "too good to be true" things. Any opinions are welcome.

If anyone has any other suggestions on how to solve my problem, please let me know! Thanks!

i can't remember exactly where I have read about it, but I have heard (multiple times) that people weren't happy with the dr. paint chip products.

i think traditional touch up paint would probably be your best bet. i have purchased from this paint site in the past and the paint matched really well
