Chips in paint

Ok Fellas,
Instead of the usual swirl mark or light scratch, I have 1/16" chips in my paint (debris at high speeds among other things). Although the chips - only on the hood - are barely noticeable, they are white on an otherwise Majestic Blue car - so they stand out.
Are there any tricks to disguising them? If anyone has done this with the touch-up paint or has other suggestions I am all ears to some tricks.

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

Touch up paint is a solution, but I really hate using it....very hard to get it to look like it hasn't been 'touched up'.

IIRC there are threads here about applying it but I don't recall where. Try the search if you can.....
