Default suggestions on paint/rock chips

Anyone have suggestions has to how to fix paint chips due to rocks? I've got two tiny ones below the grille of my RX. I've been finding the new Lexus models have very very fragile paint. The 93 LS I have has pretty much no chips due to road debris. Is it just me noticing this?

There is a seller on eBay called "PaintPens". That's where I got mines from.

you can buy the paint and then rather than using the small brush, a tip of a toothpick will be more precise and steady (for small rock chips)
