Default Touch up paint

I just got a small but nasty little chip in my bumper paint, just about dead center. The touch up paint is more colored gel than paint. Is there a better alternative to this that will cover without leaving a bump which is as unsightly as the chip?

shake well - then shake again

many many light coats rather than a blob of paint and then take it down with a PC

Thanks, Steve. I'm used to paints that need a lot of shaking. Polishing cloth it is.

Use a broken tooth pick to fill the chip with many lite coats like Steve said.
