Don't know how it will look with touch-up paint.

Dr.ColorChip Custom Automotive Touch-Up Paint Kit - Dr. ColorChip: Automotive Paint Chip Repair Systems works and the best is a clear bra

FWIW, I would avoid Dr Color Chip at all costs. I have a pearl white 370, and it didn't even come close to matching. Clear bra is a must...and for touch ups -stick to dealer paints.

Yes go with the dealer paint or go to a body shop and have them color match one for you.

I don't know how easy it is to use but I've seen some really great touch up jobs with a syringe with a tiny brush at the end
Touch-Up Paint Syringes, 2 Count - Griot's Garage best thing to do is get one of those and get the touch paint pen as well ... I just can't find myself to trust the pen because it rarely leaves a smooth finish .. if not time to call The Junkman |

I will probably go with the touch up stick.
