Default Fixing paint chips

Got a black Lexus, notice the dealer sells a touch-up paint that comes in something they call the "touch-up pen"? What do you guys recommend?

Yes, Toyota dealership also sells the same thing. It's a pen-and-touch-up-brush combo. I have good experience though with a special touch-up paint pen from AutoSharp. It's a little pricier than the dealership touch-up, but better accuracy and easy to use IMO.

Thanks for the heads up on autovisuals. Tried to order and their on-line ordering sucks big time. Filled in all the info and nothing. Tried to email them and nothing. Called them and told them they have big problems ordering off their website and the lady said their web designer had been in working on it. After I told her all my problems she wanted me to talk to her supervisor and tell her the problems I experienced. Then I was on hold for 5 minutes, finally hung up, not using my cell phone time to fix their company problems. Guess I will just stop by the Lexus dealer. I doubt autovisuals will be in business that much longer, my experience, companies that have though kinds of problems, don't last long.
