Need to touch up chip on white-what do you use?

I somehow got a chip on the passenger rear door while driving 60 mph with nobody around me. I heard something hit the side and hoped it was just in the wheel well, but when I stopped I saw a chip in the passenger rear door right where I heard the impact.

I searched and read with the white that someone suggested just using the white and not the clear to touch up smaller chips. This is considered small but will drive me crazy until touched up. Is the consensus to use the OEM touch up paint or do some of you prefer other types like ColorRite pen stick? I know from past touch up kits that are OEM they come with a brush which makes it touch to do it right.

After some research I recently purchased and user http://www.drcolorchip.com/

I give it two thumbs up! A bit pricey but worth it.

Check Out a Demo

Have you actually tried this? I was excited to find this product a few years back and never bought it. The more research I did, the more negative reviews I read. There is another product similar to this (do a Google for comparison) and that other one seems to get better reviews from people who have tried both.

My results with Dr. Colorchip were mixed. With very small chips it does a good job, but with a long scratch or anything bumper rash like the lack of proper color matching will be pretty obvious.

I used Dr.colorchip on my IP. It works OK, you wont be able to see the chip from few feet away. The touch up paint is really "thin" so u wont be able to fill in the whole crater depth wise so it matches with the surface of the original paint.
I used OEM touch up paint as well and it looked a lot worse than Dr. Colorchip, the shade just didn't match well. Dr. Colorchip is definitely a better match.
