I had a pint of touch up paint mixed of the same color when I had a car
painted last year. The car was painted with urethane that required a
catalyst, but the touch up was a different composition ready to be used from
the can. The brand I used was DuPont. The touch up works well and blends
perfectly.
The pint of touch up was approximately $40.
