depending on the size of the chips...i would highly NOT recommend using the brush that comes with the touchup paint. Use a toothpick. Dip the toothpick in the paint and just keep applying it to the chip using that method. Like i said depnding on the size. Clean then apply the paint wait 15-20 and keep applying. Won't look perfect but you won't notice it

Use a paint stick from a place like http://Autovisuals.com and some Langka if you are very particular.
