Default Best way to apply touch-up paint...??

I have 2 rock chips that I would like to get some touch up paint on. I went and got the VSM paint from Honda, now I just need to know the best way to apply it without it looking like sh*t.

Anyone have any hints? I have heard using a toothpick to apply in layers. I just don't want it to look worse than when I started. Thanks!!!

A torn off end of a match stick works great!

I've applied touch up paint on my car and it doesn't seem as smooth or even blend in that well. Should i wet sand it as well? and then put another coat on?

touch up is touch up but to make it look better build it up then wet sand it with 2000 then buff it and it will look ok
