Sorry for the late response, I was out of town.
Touch up 102
The way I do it could be unfair for most people, since I have acces to all material needed to mix and spray paint, that's how I would recomend to be done.
Go to your local paint store suplies and have them mix the minimun amount of paint and and hardener, I would prefer the higher quality paint, mix a little in the appropiate ratio. this example would apply to solid color single stage.
With a good brush, I use pinstriping brushes Mac is the brand, they are a little pricy, but with good care they last a long time, getting creative with a back of a match, or a napkin rolled into a point, will only give you a half job, the brush is extemely useful to fill the chip or the scratch, let it dry for at least 24 hours.
Colorsanding is a different beast, it requieres practice, but there are companies that sell little tools and gadgets to ease that process.
With two stage paints, I would need clear, tint it with color about 50% and apply, this time it may need more coats to completely hide and fill.
I hope this help, In my head is cristal clear, but it is difficult to put into words. also visual aide would help. I will try to keep notes.
