If you have a silver CL, I'd suggest the DupliColor. It works better than the factory touch-up paint IMO.

When I had my m5 spoiler painted, the body shop gave me the spare paint in a little touch bottle which was a better match. It was so much easier to apply and didnt blob as much as the the factory touch up.

chips, dings, and even scrapes are going to be an endless battle. wash your car and try not to notice those things and they naturally go away

i have so many chips and dents and stuff that would break most peoples heart but its not worth stressing over it(anymore). its part of life and ii would rather have my car all dinged up then smashed up in an accident!

i used to fix these things for a living dont get a touch up pen or a touch up kit from the dealer!!!!! almost every car has an alternate to the color (the shade will most likely be off)
try to find a automotive paint supplier for the brand ppg( they are the factory paint manufactors for 99% of cars give them your paint code and have it made up in the smallest amount. to apply use a corner of a razors blade cardboard cover and dip it in the paint just a small amount then aply to chip. the paint will be raised but will flatten when it its dry. the paint code is in the jam of the drivers side door... good luck
