Default Touch Up Paint Brush

Have a few nicks in the paint on my '04 RX330 from rocks, etc. Do not have any Lexus branded touch up paint in the tube, however, I do have some paint and clear coat from a previous repair from a Lexus body shop. Would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for an easy to find paint brush that works well when trying to fill in these small areas without making a mess of things.

Techniques for doing this would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Most lexus dealers have touch up paint that matches perfectly plus that and they now include a pen tip and brush which makes those rock nicks and other small imperfections easy to fill

The touch-up pen is the easiest way to do this - keep in mind it's darn near impossible to match the surrounding area. I've used the Langka kit as well, which includes a very fine brush. It's painstaking work but offers the best homemade touch-up results I've seen.

Another option is to carefully tape off & cover the surrounding areas and use spray touch-up paint, a la www.expresspaint.com.
