Touch Up Paint
I went to wash my car today and low and behold I hit the mirror with the spray wand... Put a little chip in the paint and I need to order some touch up paint. I went to paintscratch.com with no luck finding my paint. Paint code is L555 EE. Anyone know what direction to point me in?

dr colorchip. Follow the directions - it works well. http://www.drcolorchip.com/
Don't look at the option code sticker for you paint, pull down the carpet on the driver side "frunk". You will see a metal plate with the real paint color code and the name (in german).
Look in your spare tire well, see if the touch up paint that came with the car is in there (that is where mine was). It will also have the "REAL" paint code on the bottle. (Don't use it though).

Huge fan of Dr. Paint Chip when the defect is truly a chip or a clean scratch. I haven't found a touch up that works well on a rash/scuff.
Had pretty good luck with touch up on all colors except Artic Silver -- I thought I was just doing a poor job but then noticed that several touch-up companies warn that silver metallics are notriously difficult to repair.

+1 on Paint scratch.com. I have bought from them in the past and been very happy with the quality of the match. If you do the touch-up correctly you will have a hard time finding it afterwards.
