No need for full kit, just use rubbling alcohol And shake paint really well for metalic to blend.
I have Dr. colorchip too, but only think it's good for tiny dots like sand, otherwise if it's too deep or w.e. then forget it.

Also their WET method is awesome. Just do 2-3 layers over deep chips over 2 days.
And let paint cure for 2 hours before you start removing the smears near the paint chip, and a day for the actual chip.

when using blob on actual chip, I think pre treating with finger the chip is best. After a minute u can then treat the card and cloth and attack the blob of the touch up. Try to do one good motion to get rid of 60% of blob, then slow down.
