Has anyone used YMB touch up paint?

I discovered a small rock chip on the front of my hood and there is now 1-2mm of white base coat or whatever it is showing. How well does the touch up paint work?

Best way to do that is go to a experienced Detailer or a autobody shop give the that touch up have them mix it with some clear coat have them tap the chip marks then let it drive have the Detailer block the clear and paint touch till it is smooth then compound and polish will look 95 percent perfect I own a autobody and that's what I did looks great and I am extremely picky plus I have the same color also

Thanks. Yea, I know what the "best" method is - to have a professional do it. I'm just wondering how well the touch up paint works for a small 1-2mm chip that you can't really notice to start with until you get up close and look at/fot it.
