How to fix paint chips on frame?

Does anyone here have experience with repairing minor paint chips on their road frames? My CAAD10 frame in Black/White has some minor paint chips I would like to take care of in which the clear coat and paint have completely chipped off in a very small area on the top tube. I'm talking ~2mm in length. It's really small but very obvious in the sunlight.

I wonder if Cannondale sells a touch up paint kit?

Any suggestions on how I should go about fixing it?

If you are not interested in the above idea. Nail polish and or model paint. May take some experimentation to find a decent match.
