I was trying to avoid the crazy cost of the OEM touch up paint. I guess for my color it probably makes sense.

Touch up paint has always been hit or miss for me, colorwise. Be patient, and if the damage spots aren't too big, you should be okay. Of course, you will always see the repairs but most people won't, and if they do, they'll know that you care enough to take care of the dings. One other thing I'll mention is that if you go with Dr Colorchip, the squeegee method did not work well for me. It either left too much touch up paint or scraped too much paint out of the chip. The theory seems sound, though. I probably just don't have the right touch.
