Default Body repair/paint Q.
Had a few minor scratches and some chips I wanted to fix up. Anyone have any experience with paintscratch.com? I was interested in their paint pen kit. Also, if I wanted to fill some small chips, would I get the Spot Putty they have and then just paint over it? Here's a pic of the damage:

advice is appreciated as I don't know my way around body repair too well. thanks

Touch up on silver NEVER looks good IMHO. I have had 2 silver cars, and touch up never looked good.
