I also use Ntwrkguys technique although I use carboard matchsticks cut at 45 Degrees instead of the artist brush. I can achieve the same results with the matchstick as with the brush but I prefer the matchstick because I find the MB paint dries quickly and gets very sticky. Sticky paint creates little strands (like spiderwebs) when you lift the brush away from the chip and then you need to clean that mess up to. So I'm constantly throwing out the old matchstick and using a new one. Langka also works very well as suggested but don't wait too long to use it, MB touch paint dries to the touch within 2 hours and after 4 hours Langka will have a tough time smoothing the blob.
Another thing to note: Don't be in a hurry to fill in the scratches and chips. Add a very light coat (nearly see through) and after 12 hours go back and add another coat. Keep doing this until the chip/scratch has filled completely. An average chip/scratch will take between 4 and 7 coats to fill to a small blob if it's down to bare metal. Use your judgement on this but remember less is better.
Good luck
