Those with magic black...

Thanks for the link, that makes it look a doddle, but somehow I dont think id make such a good job without some practise lol....im a bit heavy handed shall we say...

The key is in keeping the paint thin, using a small brush, and not trying to fill the chip in one go. Having said that, the paint contains a fair amount of thinners, so it will "dry back" (shrink) a lot, so you can normally put a blob in so it's level, and it'll dry back lots, and then carefully top it up. I've found that with very very thin paint (as in, mostly thinners), you can just "blob" a final coat on, and it will normally dry with the metallic flecks matching the rest of the paint on the car (I've never actually bothered sanding any of the parts myself, as I've never felt it's needed it - yes, some of them are slightly visible, but some of them you can't see).

Having said that, I used to paint models, so I'm used to painting small fiddly things ... I have heard of people buying scrap panels to practice on before doing paint repairs ...
