As soon as the weather gets nice around here I’m getting a kit from Dr. Color Chip. It looks like a pretty good system to me.

This is what I use for chip repairs, so check out these TWO sites:
For exact colors match www.automotivetouchup.com.
For paint "blob" smoothing www.langka.com

When I got the LS I picked up a paint pen at the dealership. It's branded Toyota Lexus. It is a combo unit. You can use it as either a pen or it also has the little brush (which I do not use). You just remove a inner orange cap if you want to use as a pen or leave the orange cap on and use the brush. Shake well and I leave it tip down in storage and it works great. It was $9.64 plus tax.

Lexus and Toyota are interchangeable. Get the color but also get the "clear coat" for best result.
