Touch-Up Paint Application

Okay, gurus. I need to touch up a few rock dings on the bonnet, bumper, mirror caps, etc. I got the factory touch up kits the other day.

Now, in the past with other cars, rather than deal with those stupid brushes that come with the touch-up paint, I would take a pin, dip the head of it into the paint, and then lightly apply to the car by one, simple touch. I'd reapply with a new pin if needed and used a new pin for every chip. The amount of paint is about the right amount for a rock ding, it seemed to flow right into the chip itself, and it not "spill" over the edges of the hole.

I'm not planning on messing with the clear coat application that comes with the kit. Probably just give it a good coat of wax after the paint has cured for a day or so.

Any other methods that you all have tried and liked? Thoughts? Ideas? Arguments? Comments?

Discuss and thanks!
