The sun's rays will eat up Sharpie ink. Touch up paint may take a few coats, but should handle the weather ok....I touched up gouges left from a bike rack on a truck spoiler with Sharpie, then model paint and it is doing ok now after several coats.
Parts stores should carry tire crayons.....just decide if you want chalk or crayon and yellow or white.....

"Chevrolet Orange" comes in many different shades from the various manufacturers.
For wild assortment of marking pens look up Mohawk products. I use these in antiques repair but they have many uses for many types of repair including leather. The marking fluid is permanent meaning it's hard to get off your hands.
Some of the basic colors like black, white, red, blue, etc. may suit you.

You may want to Try to avoid high gloss. On my second car in high school I touched up with those duplicolor, I think it was, pens at the parts store in the late 90s. Well, at a certain angle all the rock pits I filled in really stood out. So, it seems more on the flat matte side versus gloss is the way to go.......unless you are throwing skill at it, which I have no clue how to make a rock chip 'disappear'? So kindly disregard if that is the case.

White-Out at least used to be ridiculously durable outdoors. As a dumb little kid I once painted a small "Hi" on a galvanized trash can lid (remember when all trash cans were steel?) and it stayed there for time eternal in Colo. I wouldn't be surprised if White-Out has since been re-formulated with some hippie low VOC or other nonsense, though.
