I can't help, but here's a bump for the ACT crew. What colour is your car? For my VY I just bought a bottle of touch up paint from Holden and did it myself. If you didn't get really close it looked ok. Depends how good you want it thought.

Depending on the size of the chip, can use a tooth pick instead of a brush to gently work the spot. Not perfect, but as Purps says "if you don't get close".

yeh u can use a match head or pinch a old bottle of nail poilish of ur sister n use that brush- lol...Yeh touching is a good way to easy out of a front half blend out+repaint which can cost 1000$ n onyl get chipped again few months later. Touch up once let dry bit, then re touch area if it aint filled whole chip,use both hands when u goto place ur touchups(one as a locking hand other as the touching hand) n keep re dipping ur brush.If u keep on top of chips they dont get bad so fast n also wen u get a real cut+polish from paint shop the old touchup will have blended in good so wen paint gets cut it smoothes out the edge of chip n blends, also regular touching up stops lifting in spots when u buzz it at carwash wt the pressure washer-lol...
