Default Touch up paint product

I found a few small chipped paint on my 2017 with caviar color. Just want to see if anyone recommend any touch up product out there. I Google around and found products like touch up pen https://www.paintscratch.com/ but want to see if anyone has good recommendation.

It appears your color is base color plus clear coat. Chips are deeper than scratches. Dr Colorchip can fill chips with multiple applications better than a pen or plain paints. There are also primer paints that have a bulk filler in them. Depends on how perfect you want it to look.

I have a 2018 ES in White Pearl that has the base plus clear coat. Had a scratch on the hood and Lexus parts had a 2-pen kit that matched perfectly. Worked like a charm. Less than $10 for both.

Do usually every time I buy a new car
Something that I go and you just to have for back up is I’ll go in till like one of the paint supply stores like Sherwin-Williams or one of the places that specializes in auto paint and mom for about usually 10 or 12 bucks mix up a little jar of paint to match your car’s paint code and it has a little brush on it but don’t brush always just dab otherwise if he’s going to actually brush it you’ll have brushstrokes that’ll be clearly seen if you dab it as long as the paint is close to matching it
