Touch Up Paint

Can anyone recommend a good touch up paint kit for an Alpine White 3 series. Just got my first chip after three months of ownership.

I seriously hope the AW OEM BMW paint is MUCH better than the TiAg OEM BMW paint. Mine OEM paint ended up darker than the car's.

I might be too late on this but I used the Autosharp Pen on my Orient Blue E46, it worked great on stone chips etc...I'm ordering one for my TiAg 328.

Metallic paints are harder to match, even OEM.
