Does anybody done this?
I purchased touch up paint kit at the dealer.
I tried to use it but I am afraid : - (

Do I brush very little amount and let it dry for awhile and wipe it out?
or do I simply brush it and done?

Let me know if anyone knows..

I've bought some too for a couple of dings I've got...but haven't got round to actually do it either. Everything I was reading suggested building it up in layers which makes more sense then topping off with the clear. If you put it all on at once you end up with a blob that would look worse.

Some folks use a syringe to inject touch-up paint in very small quantity and minimize blob.

Maan, I would stay away from these products. I considered touching up the rock chips on my car with BMW touch up paint. 1. New paint will never match up with your old paint. My car had the chicken pox ( 30+ spots) until I had got the touch up's removed by a car collision center. 2. If you decide u want to do it yourself, never use the brush that is included with the kit; rather use a toothpick. Seriously use very little amount. Well that my 2 cents. GL with the paint

I've used the touch up pen from auto visuals and it worked great.
