Default Touch up interior scratches

I am a new owner of a 2000 911 Cabriolet and would like to touch up scratches on the interior. It has a gray interior. Where can I buy the matching touch up paint?
Any advice would be much appreciated

I have no experience touching-up your color, but I went the cheapskate Home Depot route on my beige interior and it was a perfect match.

That is probably the best way to go since you will be matching the color in its present state, not how it looked when it left the factory.

Leatherworldtech.com has been a great source for me.... The dye colorant is a great product but to an earlier point I always do a whole leather segmant seam to seam....or the whole seat surface and it always looks great....like new

I, too, did the Home Depot paint match. Clean the surface of the paint before you get sample. The color won’t look right on the repaired scratch until it dries. Buy the sample size so if the first jar isn’t quite right, have the Depot folks tweak the formula for second go. A sample jar will last for years. Feather the paint around the edges of the repair to blend better with existing surface. The results for the 996 Space Gray and Graphite Gray will be amazing...almost undetectable. A cheap and satisfying repair job.

Another happy Home Depot customer (Savanna Beige interior). A sample size bottle is enough to do more than a few cars. As noted above, careful feathering and you'll be amazed at how well it can come out.
