touch up paint
i know that touch up paint doesn't really relate to the section, but this is the best find i can do.
i have a lot of chips on my driver door (some elsewhere also) and I'm pretty broke so I was wondering what's everyone's take on touch up paint (even tho they suck ass).
The chips are mostly small, but it exposes the metal. Thus i must cover it up before it starts rusting!
also, would it be smart to get the car professionally detailed (exterior) with all these chips. would it make them bigger?!

Touching up can be very easy. Just be patient.
Get a bottle of touch up paint for your car. To do this, you can go to any auto body shop and request it. Be sure to bring your paint code with you.
When you get the paint, make sure to clean the area well. Dump a dime size amount of paint onto a paper plate, cup, et cetera. Take the tip of a pointy toothpick or super fine paint brush and just barely apply paint to the tip. Go to the center of the chip and let the paint flow to the edges. You will need to do this several times. Remember, layer the paint, do not blob it on!
This will take a bit of time, but when you are finished, it'll look darn good.

If they work as advertised and are as easy to use as they say, this would surely help avoid the paint pen and OEM touch up paint blobs. I'm thinking about getting the TouchUp123 Standard Kit but wanted opinions or reviews first.

i ordered it last week and should get it soon.
there are good and bad reviews, but if you want flawless results... you should look into wetsanding and all that mumbo. i've seen some crazy things with that... not even a hint that there was a problem there...
i'll post before and afters when I apply it sometime this week.
