I have had decent results by: knocking off the sharp edges of the chipped area with 1000 grit paper (wet), then using a paper matchstick cut at an angle as the paintbrush, fill in chip. This may take several coats to build up the chipped out area. When it is as filled as you can get, wet sand the spot with 1500 grit. After all that, you have a dull spot that need polishing. You may need to thin the touch up paint to get it to lay down right and not form a bubble.

I am no painter, just a mechanic, but this has worked pretty good for me in the past.
