Default Local Source for Touch-up Paint?

Anyone know of a local source for touch-up paint. Is it the kind of thing you can get at Crappy Tire (doubt it) or does one have to order official Porsche paint through Pfaff? Just have small chip that needs a little dob. Is it an easy DIY with a small brush or is it more involved?

Any help would be great,

As much as it might warm my heart for you to shop at 'crappy tire' for everything you could ever possibly need, get the correct color from a p-car dealer.

Application is easy.

Just got back from crappy tire and am happy to say they having nothing that passes for Porsche Lapis Blue. I have sent an email to Pfaff, but still wonder if there is a cheaper place to get authentic Porsche paint?

Mine is also Lapis Blue, and I got it from Pfaff.
I am avoiding tail gating to stop front end paint job destruction

You could try a body shop paint supplier out where you live. There is a place in downtown Toronto that will make paint to match either in a spray or a small touch up bottle. Cost is $25 for each.
