Touch up paint?
I was washing my car and noticed rock chips from the winter.

What kind of touch-up paint (pen?) would you recommend?

get the touch up paint (with brush) from the dealer, fill in each chip, then use a credit card to get rid of the 'blob'

^ I agree, I would get some from the dealer. They have the exact color, and usually keep the popular colors in stock (I had to wait 3-days for Vortex Blue, lol). But they normally sell for around $7.
