Paint chips, touch up paint
Can someone please advise me on touch up paint. Where to get it, best way to use it, etc.
My chips are right above the windshield on the top. My top is black. I guess the rocks chipped my windshield and ricocheted to the top.
Has anyone used Automotivetouchup.com?
Thank you so much!

I've used DR Colorchip for several cars, including my 2 MINIs. Perfect match and their system has a blending agent to soften the paint bubble and blend it into the chip hole/scratch. Not cheap, but one bottle lasts you pretty much as long as you have the car.

been using them for years. IME better quality than the dealer stuff and this is not limited to just MINI . . .
{I just order for my new car which has a 'tri-stage' paint ... color, then an extra flake coat, then clear' ... the factory kit gives a color and clear with no third stage and reviews have been poor. Autot/up sends the "mid coat" bottle at no extra cost and the match is perfect IMO. That's good service IMO}
but see also the DETAILING section here for many threads on this topic with hints (and opinions). One that is VERY probably tho .. if you have never tried this b4, and use the brush in the bottle cap (factory or Auto'), you will end up with a BIG MESS . . .
I finish my brushwork with http://www.langka.com/
