Used a variant of.
Very good job but now i've seen it done I may try doing it myself next time.
Degrease.
Squirt each chip with an airbrush filled with a paint that only roughly matches the colour.
Wait till almost dry and wipe over with solvent cloth. Leaving paint in the chip.
Repeat spray and wipe until chips are filled.

Recon you could do it with an aerosol can or even a touch up brush.
Trick I think is waiting the right time for it to dry before wiping over.

Waits for Mr Chips Away to tell me how wrong I am. I'll get my coat.
