I have a few scratches on my bumper (don't know where it came from
) but its not enough for repainting the bumper. I figured I should buy touch up paint from the dealer. Has anyone ever bought it from a dealer before? Or is it better just to go to any hardware store.? I wonder if it comes close to the real color of the paint.?

Buy the paint from the dealer - what's the reason not to? Cost??? It'll still only be $20 or so.
I bought some for our RX300, and it came in two containers, for two different coats.

It is the identical color. There is a trim code when you open the drivers door on a white laminated tag, it has a bar code with your vehicles vin number as well. The parts counter can also just type in your vin number and the correct colors will come up i.e. 2P2 etc. etc.
Hope this helps.
