Either a Chipex or Dr Colourchip paint repair kit (both quite expensive, but it’s possible to get good results if you practice and take your time). Alternatively, buy a conventional touch up paint pen - get one that has a nib applicator inside top of the clear pull-off cap (see picture below) so you can accurately fill the stone chips by dispensing just the right amount of paint through the nib, rather than use the brush inside the paint pen, where you may end up with an unsightly paint blob larger than the stone chip you’re trying to repair.

I just bought my paint pen off eBay from a seller that guaranteed 100% colour match, and the colour match has been pretty much spot on - I struggle to see where I’ve touched in the few stone chips I had (Pure White paint). Sorry, can’t remember who the seller was.
