You might try Dr. Colorchip since I have individual Daytona Violet and they say they have that color available to ship.

The dealership can't order individual touch up paint?

Nope, I asked my dealer if I could get some and they checked and said no because they only make bulk quantities of individual paint to be used to paint cars rather than make touch up kits. My dealer told me the same to check at a body shop to see if they could match it.

I have had good luck with touchup direct. My dealer pointed me to them. I have azurite and the touchup matched great. https://touchupdirect.com

I got mine from https://colorndrive.com/en. Check your color code and buy the matched paint.

Third vote for Dr. Color Chip.
Perfect color match, and easy application. You can't go wrong.

You know they charge more money for an individual paint job, they should GIVE you a bottle of touch up when they deliver the car.
Is the touch up paint the same as the stuff they spray on the car during the build process? |

Agree! Man it would be nice to have one right when you pick up the car. It should come with the toolkit.

Do NOT get automotivetouchup.com if it gets mentioned. I had ordered it per recommendation found here and on my standard Mineral White it looked like I used Wite-out.

I've also used Dr. Colorchip on my wife's previous Le Mans Blue 335is Coupe, our Interlagos Blue Z4 M Roadster, and my Sakhir Orange M4, as well as my MiL's red Toyota Camry. All matched very well.

This shop is a small husband and wife operation that uses BASF paints, made to order. I used them for a few colors and they have always been spot on with the match and a generous bottle as well. Fast shipping and good communication. Love supporting the 'smaller' guys.
https://www.ebay.com/usr/oopsbegone Typically i take a few drops of their paint and drop it into this fine line painting pen. Larry from AMMO has a great how-to video on using it. Never going back to using brushes, toothpicks, etc for rock chips again. https://amzn.to/2WuOT5B |

I purchased an Azurite Black Metallic kit from these guys to make some homemade bumper plugs. I'm really pleased with the match.
