Yeah, the paint brush is a huge part of the culprit. Use a smaller brush and a TINY amount of paint, and ust slowly fill the chip in.

Apply some paint, let it dry, apply some more, let it dry, etc until the chip is filled in.

If it needs a little "smoothing" one thing I have done, while the paint is semi-dry, is to use a small amount of laquer thinner on a soft cloth and GENTLY rub the area. If the paint has dried this will not work.

It did a decent job, however, the area was heavily chipped, so anything looked better than what was there. I simply did not have time to fill 250 paint chips the right way. Don't do this yourself unless Gary turbomangt says it will work.
