Default Where buy small can/bottle touch-up paint?

I need to purchase a small bottle or small spray can of my ES350's color. The bottom/back of the front wheel well has some scratches I'd like to address.

Where's the best place to get this and it's cost? I'd like to stay out of the dealer if possible

Thanks,
SammyS

Warnock Lexus (of Livingston NJ) was kind enough to give me a bottle free of charge.

I provided my Lexus dealership with my vin number and they matched it with the color of my car (Royal Ruby) for $7.40.

I got mine at the dealer, complimentary of my salesman.

I used it this weekend. It went on perfectly, no thick blob like other products I used in the past. As a matter of fact, I can't tell where I touched it up.

I was just calling my dealership part department for the touch-up paint. I am wondering which type of touch-up did you guys get? I know there's the small glass can and pen type. I wonder if I can ask for spray type?

Got the touch up paint from the dealer. Spray version - you will need to see if it is available at all. The paint filled in the scratches perfect.

I used the the two bottle (base and clear) on my car last weekend. Never had much luck with color matching when using touch up but a was pleasently surprised how well it worked out (especially on a white car). The dealer offers both bottles for $8.00 but gave them to me for free (good relationship with dealer and salesman).
