So I chipped the paint on the pass door chrome strip covers some of it but not all, I’ve touched it it somewhat and probably should have used a better modelers brush to apply the paint ……looking for suggestions to fix this with procedure to follow..if we need better pics of DS chrome trim for comparison of trim coverage I can thanks Chris …

Could try this place, may give a better result, comes as a kit to do chips, search youtube for reviews, seems to be OK:

I've used dr color chip and been happy, but I don't know that the system would work as well on a corner like that. Their color match was perfect, though! I got the 2-color kit for both of our daily drivers.

Without getting into sanding, blending and buffing the fix, do this. Continue to build color (unreduced is best) only where chipped, not beyond the edge. Build only until your color has hidden the substrate and it matches the undamaged surface.
Activate a small amount (1 oz.) two part clear and hardener and pour off a few drops. Add a few drops of your unreduced base color and mix in. You want your clear/color mix to contain enough pigment to hide the edge of your chip. The color will be "floating" in the clear and mask the broken edge. Clear only will show the broken edge, that's the reason for the color being added at the end. There is no do-over once the clear cures.
If you're okay with sanding the repair flat after curing and polishing the repair, lightly sand the clear coat on the area surrounding the chip (maybe 1/4" beyond the chip edge) with 1500 before you begin the process above, but still stay within the bad surface with your color touch up. The last coat with clear mixed in can bridge the edge of the chip by about 1/8". It being sanded with the 1500 will help adhesion on the edge of the clear.

I use a Toothpick to apply paint ...clear.

I did a quarter size chip to the driver's side rear quarter panel and, after getting estimates in the 10-12,000 dollar range to repaint the car I decided to try doing it myself. I bought an airbrush gun and had some paint mixed to match. I slightly feathered the edges of the chip. Then spot sprayed with primer sealer. Then I started applying light coats of the finish color. I now need to mix some color and clear for the final two or three coats. Then, after letting it set for a week or two buffing it out.

Pics of the finished area would be great to see your efforts…

I've used the Langka system with good results
