Anyone got any information on these nifty little bits of kit? I'm considering buying one to touch up a few very slight scratches but don't want to waste my money! Let me know please =] :)

They're usually rubbish.... Better off with a 00 Artist Brush or Coctail Sticks....

Breif method of scratch/stone chip repair

Clean the area with IPA
Apply thin coats of paint into the scratch....
Keep applying until the paint is raised above the rest of the paint around it (try not to apply paint outside the scratch)
Using wet & dry, flatten the paint back using 2000, 2500 and 3000 grit papers, going in opposite directions with each
Polish away the fine scratches caused by the paper
