Default Best way to apply touch up paint.

As title really - I've got a few chips on my bonnet to sort out, but I did a couple using the brush and it's a bit too fiddly to get a decent result.

Any better methods?

Auto Glym's website recommends a paper clip.

I've also got a faily deep chip on a door edge where clumsy me opened it into the garage wall. Help.

I use a wooden cocktail stick...throw away after a couple of dabs as the paint starts to dry on the stick.

Cheap as chips and can also be used at parties for those little sausages with a cube of cheese or pineapple........LOL

Get touch up paint which has lacquer mixed into it. You'll get a far smoother finish, as the gloss provided by the lacquer mix will help the touchup blend in better. www.Paints4u.com do their paints like this, and include a proper applicator brush/stick.
