I think you have to be extremely patient and dab onto each individual chip. Extremely tedious, yes, but the result is extremely good.

I dabbed on with the tiny bud, immediately smeared with my finger (in the glove) and rubbed with the fluid after about 2 or 3 minutes.

It is going to take a lot of patience, bad backs and sore fingers though.
Have kept at it with The Dr Colourchip and have had mixed results, on some of the small chips they have covered very well I can honestly agree that the results are brilliant, I have used the same method as you and I am very pleased.

However on the bigger chips the paint needs to be built up layer on layer with a suitable amount of time for it to harden. Once the paint is level then a final application as of the finer chips will finish it off.

I do think that the darker the colour the better the coverage, Silver is probably one of the worst to do.

I think a half litre bottle of removal fluid would have been more appropriate because I think that will run out long before the paint.

I'm with you on the time, patience and the bad back anyone looking to do it in 5 minutes is going to be a little disappointed.
