I got some from a local body shop. I had a paint chip and they gave me a bottle of the paint after they finished. They did a pretty good job matching, I can barely notice where they did the touch-up

Dealer's touch up comes already mixed with clear coat - this can be good and bad... Somtimes it looks better if you first apply the base color, let it dry and then a clear.. If your careful you can get good results from the dealer supplied stuff.. I like to use base color then a clear coat, just like a body shop would.
