Found Some 3M Automotive Masking Tape!
As for the procedure...It came from a Chilton Manual #8394 on "Auto Detailing" ($24 at Barnes & Noble). I would be happy to copy, (about 3 pages with photos...sorry no scanner), and fax to you.
Readers Digest Version:
1) Prepare Surface (Clean w/ cotton swab to remove wax/polish and dirt, allow to dry)
2) Mask of the minor scratch or chip
3) Apply a little Touch-up with #2 Art brush
4) Apply paint to meet or exceed the surface
5) Allow to dry for 3 - 5 days
6) May need to repeat several thin layers
7) Wet sand touch up area using 800-1200 Grit until level with surface paint.
8) Use a polishing compound to rub out scratches left by sanding.
9) Remove Masking Tape
10)Then glaze, polish, and wax.
FYI, the manual said it's close to impossible to get a good repair on metalic paints.
