I bought an air brush to apply touch up paint to my Pearl White. Hid a couple of gouges on the bottom of the facia with it. One tube of touchup paint from the dealer should be able to do a couple of square inches using this method. When you're buying it, make sure to check whether they're supposed to give you a tube of clear with it. Mine didn't come with one but it says to finish with clear. Dealer says it's a 1 step paint and does not need clear. He also said that if it did, it would of come in the same pack as the pigmented paint.
I've used touchup paint in the past and have always been unhappy with the air bubbles or brush stroke marks left behind. The air brush makes it come out nice. Be careful with the overspray. For gouges, I just taped along the edge of the gouge so it all stayed inside the line. Left a paint ridge at the edge but at least the gouges are white instead of black now. You can probably feather the edges if you needed to cover a larger area.
Thayer & Chandler T86 Vega 1000 is the one I got. The Nissan touchup paint was perfect consistency with it. Tried thining it down to begin with but ended up using it full strength. Laquer thinner for cleanup.
