Don't know about "down under" but here in Canada we can buy a "touch-up paint pen" from the Dealer - only costs about $15 Cdn.
It has the "paint" applicator on one end and the "clear coat" on the other end.
When you depress the applicator, it releases the paint (or clear coat) on to a porous surface, which you simply apply to the affected area....after the paint dries (and it's important to make sure it's dry) you then apply the clear coat.
They come from the dealers based on the paint code of the vehicle.
Not a perfect result at first but improves with some waxing.
The important thing is that it does help to prevent rust....
If they're not available on your end (which I think they would be) I'd be happy to help out by buying one (or more) and shipping them out to you - obviously at your cost.
Cheers
Thanks for the offer Roger to ship out some paint pens but they are available down here. cheers anyways.

The genuine nissan touch-up paint is available from your local dealer for the cost of $8.00
Please note that this part number of my Black exy. I believe the part number for the touch-up paint in your case will be the same, except your colour code at the end (instead of KH3)
It is only good to be used on small scratches and stone chips, not long scratches, as it'll be quite visible.
Thanks for the info Jalalski. The scratch on the exy is about 20cm in length. I think the reason the panel shop suggested touch up from Nissan is that the scratch is on the rear bumper just as it starts to curve under the car. So to see the scratch you would have to get down to look at it.

Re: 1 month old & paint chip !!!! Finally picked up the Nissan touch up paint. They didn't have mine in stock and had to get it in. Cost me $15 though. Havn't applied it yet. It is just paint though, no clear coat.
