Hey everyone!
I have some tiny chips of paint that have come off due to wear and tear. Two are 2mm x 2mm. One is 1mm x 5mm.
I’ve noticed the “white” for Honda Jazz MK4 models have a sparkly undertone? Therefore I would like to purchase genuine Honda paint.
Does anyone know where I can get this?
Also can I take this to a professional to do on my behalf? This is my first car so I just want to make sure it blends in.

I bought it here (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006267704028.html). And the Honda service center told me it was OK.

The honda whites (and some other colours) are pearlescent paint, which contains mica,a mineral which produces the 'sparkly' colour changes in certain light, and a lustre similar to pearls. Its a bit more 'sophisticated' than metallic paint which produce similar effects using metal particles in the paint.
Although spraying large panels needs skilled professional sprayer there is no reason why you cant try touching up small chips yourself using one of the special pens/touch up kits like those listed by stani. Especially if the paint is on plastic bumpers etc that wont rust.
For best results you may need to 'fill' a chip or scratch with paint, applying a thin layer,and allowing this to dry before applying further layers of paint ,until its flush with the surrounding paint . Many people try to rush this, applying thick dollops of paint that dont dry very well. Even so the results may be 'good enough' if you dont look too closely.But if you are patient and take extra care you may find you are a 'natural at touching up and be very pleased with the results .
Maybe buy a touch up paint and give it a go on the smallest and least obtrusive chip. If you make a pigs ear of this you could call in one of the mobile chip repair specialists.

The two part Honda touch up sticks are very good. I have the blue beam metallic. Don't use the supplied brush applicator though! Get a fine artists brush, and gently dob the base colour into the chip with it. After it settles, it might need a second dob. Don't build it up flush though, as the final dob should be the top coat laquear. I have a few chips, and barely noticeable now.

Did you buy any sandpaper to blend the work? Any YouTube tutorials you would recommend or followed?
Two part Honda sticks sounds like a great suggestion!

There is a little pad on top of the base coat stick. After you have applied the base coat/lacquer and a couple of hours later, you moisten this pad and gently rub the area. It has a mildly abrasive quality that flattens and blends the blob into the existing paintwork. On my blue metallic paint chips stand out like a sore thumb because the primer coat is silver. The Honda touch up stick really did a good job though, and a few cleans/polishes down the line they are hardly noticeable. On a white car they would be a lot easier to hide.
Just don't use the supplied applicator brush, it puts down too big a blob. Get a fine artists brush that will fit inside the chip.

+1 for Chipex. Always an excellent colour match and easy to apply as long as you are applying it sparingly
