I've found that the DupliColor touch-up paint works just fine. They just came out with a new pen-type system vs the previous nail-polish-type brush that you had to use before. The new "pen" is like one of those white-out pens. I prefer this pen system because when I apply the paint it will flow to fill in the chips in the paint. If I were to use a brush it would be more difficult to fill-in a chip without touching the not-chipped part. The pen system is $6-$7 whereas the brush is $4-$5. The downfall of the pen is that you can't touch-up areas under your car (duh) because paint doesn't flow up. 
By the way, there is a clear-coat you can add that is also made by DupliColor, which I find unnecessary in some applications. I don't doubt that it'll make the touch-up last longer though. Good Luck!

I've got a key mark going from my rear quarter all the way to the nose 
Don't have the money for a paint job and if i take it in on insurance I don't want them to do a touch up on it, i want the whole side(or whole car) repainted. I've seen some touch up jobs that look like crap. Also, what do you think about cut and polish, I've never used the stuff but heard it works quite well.
