Paint Touchup Pricing?

Well I was stupid enough not to buy a car bra for my roadtrip last week and saw that i had some paint chips on my hood and the front fascia, so right now im trying to get some ideas on how much they would cost me for a touchup paint? - is there a website that i could buy them at?

Thanks

You can buy it for like $30 online at several places, or get a good body shop to mix you some for like $20, I just had them make me some extra when they resprayed my front bumper

Amazing - that same genuine kit in South Africa costs 13 Rands = US$ 1.30 - bought a kit the other day.

I went on a car club drive through Death Valley California about a month ago.
Now i have a bunch of rock chips, so I'm looking to fix mine as well.
I didn't realize the kit was so cheap. What is the part number?

I'm gonna guess that the part number would differ with the different colors. The part number for the Paint I bought is A 000 986 23 50 and that is for Brilliant Silver, 9744. It is two 12 ml sticks. One is the actual paint and the other is the clear coat.
