The secret to touch up paint is more the application of the paint then the paint itself imo. I have seen many "touch-ups" that look worse than the original damage. Take it slow, dab the paint into the chip itself with the tip of the brush keeping it below the surface level, DON'T "paint" it in, use several small dabs over time to build it up flush instead of one big glob to fill it all at once and you should do just fine. Maybe try a chip on a rocker panel first to get a feel for it before you do one on the front of the hood where it will stand out.
