The Dr. Colorchip will *likely* look better than the simple touch up paint. The reason why is the touch up paint usually beads up and forms a lump where the paint chip was. The Dr. Colorchip quickly bonds to the paint, and allows you to wipe it off with a pad that is dampened with a paint sealant.
Now if you want to go all out, the sanding/polishing kit is the way to go. Basically you apply the touch up paint and let it form a lump. Then come back later and wet sand it flush with the paint, then polish out the sanding marks. The result should be nearly flawless.
Personally I dont have a lot of faith in myself taking sand paper to my car finish, so I use the Dr. Colorchip.
