Try,
paintscratch.com (i tried their aerosol can - match was good)
automotivetouchup.com (tried a pint and used a Preval sprayer from home depot - results sucked - likely my bad)
I would assume touchup pens are avail at dealers.
Don't forget the clear coat.

Try eagleday.com, I recently bought guards red touch-up paint for my 2000 C2 and the color match was very good. The touch-up paint carried by eagleday.com is genuine Porsche paint.

You could also try Auotvisuals. I got a paint pen that was an exact match for my Lapis Blue 996. http://www.autovisuals.com//

The paintpens from paintscratch.com arrived yesterday and I've spent the day (ALL DAY!) doing touchup. I like the pens, but I'm not sure that they bring great advantages over the brushes. They still apply too much paint (even though the pen nib is sharper and smaller than the ones that come from autovisuals). Thankfully, I ordered a bottle and a pen of paint, so was able to switch between the two.
The paint was a great match and went on well - I will say that it dried a little too quickly, but that was okay.
By far the best tip I've read was a recent one (sorry that I can't remember who posted it, but THANK YOU!) was using a piece of cloth wetted with rubbing alcohol wrapped around a credit card to smooth the paint - this trick was awesome, as it's impossible to get a good finish without doing this... the ability to shape and smooth the paint was a really nice trick that helped retain my sanity and give a good finish.
Well, I mostly finished. I just have a few more layers to do around the area damaged by my license plate bracket, then I'll be able to install the bumperplugs - whoo-hoo!!
