Use a 3/0 spotter brush--a type of artist's brush. Should be available from any decent art supply store. Like so:

Artist's Loft® Roma Spotter Brush | Michaels

Perfect for painting miniatures, models, nail art and detailed tole painting, this spotter brush is perfect for fine detailing.

Don't dip the spotter brush in the bottle to load it. Instead, pick up paint from the brush supplied in the cap of the touch-up bottle.

You'll need lacquer thinner to clean the brush.

I'm going to try this. Thanks!

Meant to ask: How did you apply it? Usually with the brush, you flood the spot.

Thin coats. first put a thin coat and let it dry about 30 minutes, then put 2nd coat. I used the brush but rubbed off most of the paint on the side of the paint dispenser.
On the 2nd or 3rd coat you can add a little more to hide the edges of the chip.

Sorry. Feeling my way around the site. The above question was meant for InigoMontoya

Have a microfiber ready with some alcohol in case you screw up, just wipe it off quickly and you can try again. Even though it's not paint thinner, if you wipe it off right, then do a 2nd pass with alcohol, it seems to work for me.

Yes, and I think by doing it this way, two or three thin coats, you can use the OE applicator brush. In the past, on other cars, I used too much paint on the brush. Thanks!

If you want to get the best possible result using touch-up paint, follow these instructions exactly. The results were good enough that I cannot even find most of the chips that I touched up. I never thought I'd take a metal file to my paintjob but it really worked quickly and easily.

Now I’m scared. The idea of filing my baby fills me with dread 😬

I've used the oem touch up kit, but I have metallic paint so it'll probably be easier for you. I had a few spots, so I used a brush, a toothpick, a pin, and spread with a card. The best result I had was wet sanding, then going with the pin or card (depending on the type of chip), then putting a super thin layer of clear with a brush, and finishing with a da polisher the next day.

I used OEM paint with these touch-up brushes from Amazon, and they worked well.

That's good to hear was it as easy to apply as it looks in their video with squeegee method? Am tempted as it's been a day and dealer still hasn't given me a price or lead time on OEM paint pen.

Super easy to apply and no paint “blob”.

I used DrColorChip in Night Blue Metallic and it was great

+1 for Dr Colorchip. @alavigne and I used it on our hood rash repairs and the Carmine Red was spot on. GTS Chronicles hood touch up on Instagram
