Need Paint Touch-up Help on a scratch

Wassup everyone, Well I just got my g35 coupe 2months ago and yesterday I found a scratch and a paint chip on the driver side door. Its really small but its bothering me. I was wondering if anyone has any secrets to getting rid of it without repainting it. Also, I think the scratch is too deep for scratch x or any of the other scratch removers. I was thinking of just buying touch up, but it didn't work too well with my last car. Anyone have any good advice?

Below is simplest method.
1. Clean chip/scratch
2. Layer in paint using #2 artist brush (or toothpick for chip) ... allow to dry then repeat till "layer" level or just above rest of surface
3. Allow to cure before pressure washing and/or waxing
Note, if you want to level paint blob after it's cured, try langka (sp?) or wet/dry 2000-grit sandpaper with outer edges taped off, then polish and wax
