I think what he's asking is will the touch up paint look like sh#*?
I too got my first rock chip on the hood the other day and was wondering the same thing.

Looks better then seeing primer or worse, metal. Granted it will not look as good as new but it wont be as noticible to the eye.

I had a small chip on my GSXR when I bought it new. Got some touchup paint, and it was a little off (yellow). Even with it on there, I had to look hard just to find it.

Take a look at this demo from DupliColor that shows you how to touchup scratches and chips. I haven't tried this myself yet but it looks like it might work pretty good.

Body shop. Your color won't touch up, it is a special 3 stage (not just base-clear) and requires 2 different colors to make that red. You can't do that with a brush, and you'll see it from 20 feet away. Not to be a nad, but I don't think you'll be happy with the results.
