Concrete curb - 2, Fit paint - 0 :(

So I've cut it a little close to the curb a couple times...

...and I need some paint. I've got a 12" x 1/4" patch on my right front corner that is down to the plastic. I'm thinking that the little touch-up tube from the dealer won't be quite enough, and I have some ideas that I want to try with my airbrush anyway, so I'm in the market for a quart of blackberry pearl paint.

Is this something I should try to get from the dealer, or would there be other sources that have better quality and/or better prices?

PaintScratch Touch-Up Paint (rs), Spray Cans, Spray Paint, Paint Pens, Car Paint, Automotive Paint
PaintWorld - Automotive Touch Up Paint and Supplies

they can mix the paint for you and send them either in a
aerosol can or non-aerosol bottle.

ive bought from both of them in the past to paint some
body pieces like grills, side skirts, lip spoilers, etc. the
match is pretty good. paintworldinc had faster turnaround
at the time though.

ps: for anyone that's looking at touch up paints, dont buy
the paintscratch's felt tip touchup pens. they absolutely
suck. the paint dries up inside the pen. you only get like
once or twice use and the rest is all clogged up.

most ball-point paint tips are good (i think the dealer ones
come with the brush and ballpoint tip these days).

Wow, this is awesome! Thank you!
I like that PaintWorldInc will sell larger quantities, in pints and quarts. That makes it easier to feed my airbrush.
