Touch Up Paint?

I was washing the Vette after a road trip and I noticed some very small dimple sized areas where the paint is missing/chipped. It is probably from small rocks or debris on the roads. What do you guys use to touch these things up? Is there a certain method that works best? Any advice appreciated...

You just have to clean the "frog hair" which is the rod that is inside the pen tip between uses.

$15 at most vendors.

Mix the touch up paint with a small amount of clear. Cover the scratch/chip carefully making it just slightly thicker than the original paint. Let it completely cure then polish it down so its flush.
