Stone chip repair kit recommendation?

I've got a few largish stone chips in the nose area and would like to fill in. I've got the black touchup paint coming in from Suncoast. Obviously, just dabbing it on the spots will be a disaster.

Does anyone have a kit they would recommend for applying it? (Or even any tips?)

thanks!

there's a thread called Dr Colorchip vs. Langka
I bought the Langka kit but haven't received it or used it....

Nothing beats a repaint but for 'hiding' road scars and artifacts these kits are pretty good (not perfect).

I use the Dr. Color Chip kit and method and it works pretty good. They have great customer service and can match all Porsche colors.

I tried the Langka kit on my black cab last year, and I found it didn't work very well for me. Black is so unforgiving.

FYI: the promo code "carcrazy" will get you 10% off at "Dr. Color Chip" (unsure how long this will last)

I'm assuming the usual application method of: Apply with the tip of a wooden skewer or needle, a drop at a time to fill just above grade.... then after drying, repeat,... then finally buff down with polishing compound to get even... is the way to go.
