Default Where to go for touching up paint on a midyear?

Recently got a couple scratches and knicks, one of which during some engine work is pretty ugly. Car was painted about 45 years ago. Still have some paint in a sealed can though It's probably crap. The car was in a garage for about 30 years until recently restored.

thanks!

Yeah a little far, but having it done right is most important.
