If you have small rock chips. A good thing my body man showed me is bite off the end of a toothpick giving it more of a blunt end. Dip the tip a little into the paint and carefully dab the rock chipped spot. Worked great for me. This is for small chips. Make sure that you don't add to much, then there will be blob of paint. Add it thinly. This is the only trick I know.

After you touch up, let dry for a few days then wax over the area to seal a little better.

Yes, you just get it at your local dealer. I picked mine up and it cost me $14. I am not sure if they are different in the US, but mine is like a pen. It has touch up paint on one side and clear coat on the other side. Works great.

+1..the toothpick trick works...and be patient, always add a little at a time instead of going for that blob and sticking it on there!

This is what I purchased. With this you don't have to worry about putting an excessive amount of paint on and creating a large blob. Once the paint is dry, you simply use the other end and apply the clear coat. You should be able to order this from any Infiniti/Nissan dealership.
