I share your pain, I have some chips as well, have not got around to touching them up. Here is a list of options for you to pick from.
1. I heard about this paint pen that is out, have not used it, but here good things about it, perhaps IRPT can provide the link to that.
2. I have the same color as you, this is a 3 stage paint system. (which is why they justified charging $200 more for the color)The mopar touch up (which I have not seen for inferno red) more than likely is in one bottle. I'm sure they blended the color. which means you won't get a good match. When I had my cowl hood painted, I asked my body shop to give me some extra paint, it came in two bottles. One is a silverish light red. The other is dark red. That is what makes up the color, (they call it 3 stage because the clear is 3rd in the process) I would go to a body shop close to you. have them make up the exact color in two bottles like I did. It shouldn't cost more than 20 bucks and you will get 10 times the amount of paint the dealer sells you.
3. The most expensive option is to have it air brushed.
4. Lanka? I have tried that product, did not work the way they advertised.

my choice would be to get the paint, get some small artist brushes, laquer thinner. I have the process you should use posted on Links home page for under detailing tips, I will try to cut and paste it here.
If you dirve you car, this stuff is going to happen, take it with a light heart. not worth getting upset over it, I have been there, it could be worse. Gary
