Paint chip repair

Hey guys, I have a few paint chips and a rather large scratch I'm gonna try and repair myself. I've done a little research online, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips?

What are you using, touch up paint or something else?

I have used it on my GHIG.. The only tip I have is a little at a time.. Put just a little on the chip.. Leave it set.. Repeat until you can not hardly see the chip. Again just just a tiny tiny bit almost to where the brush has none on it..

Exactly, a little at a time. Cover with the car color, then keep adding small amounts of clear coat until level. Use a buffer to blend/smooth finish.

So far today I put some paint on each spot and let it dry and then wet sanded it a little. One chip and one scratch you can't even see but one chip and the big scratch are going to need a few more layers of paint. Once I get some finishing compound to restore the shine it should turn out pretty good.
