I need to touch up a few spots on my Hydro Blue paint (like door hinges). Does anyone have input on going with Mopar or another brand of touch up paint for best results?

I used Mopar. As a caveat, depending on what you’re fixing you might consider taking it to a professional.

I wish I had bought the paint and taken it to a body shop to blend it in. Turns out, not as easy as one might think. I had a deep scratch on one or my doors that was into the aluminum. I thought I did a great job applying some touch up with the little brush.

When it dried I wasn’t satisfied with how it looked, so I tried to sand it out and then feather another coat on. Results were not great, and now I have a noticeable paint mar on the center of my passenger door. It’s small and you can only see it when you’re about 6 feet away, but every time I wash the Jeep I am reminded that I am a shitty automotive painter?.

I am trying to touch up a couple of chips on the hinges, do you think it would be "OK" for that?

Yeah, I think that should be fine, mine was just smack dab in the middle of the door.

I've used this company a few times with great success! Made to order and matched my vehicles perfectly. I added their clear coat touch up for good measure.

If there's an issue with the color match, they'll remix and send you out a replacement for free.
