My experience is that touchup paints is definitely not a cure for scratches excetera. Touch up paints usually don't match up very well at all either. Best thing to do is clean up the area as much as possible, perhaps with rubbing compound and clay bar and polish out as much of the scratches as possible. For the little chips or what have you that actually exposes the metal or clearly where the clearcoat has been scrapped off, use as little of the touchup paint as possible and do it in multiple coats only on the chip area and not going out of that. I don't remember how much my little bottle of touch up from the dealer was but I think it was somewhere between $5 & $10 bucks.
