Default Touch Up Paint

I've picked up two small rock chips on the lower front of the car. They're barely noticable, but it pisses ME off to know they're there. Where is the best place online to buy touch up paint for a 91?

You might also want to check out http://www.langka.com ... they sell a product which aids in making repairs to rock ships and scratches. My personal experience is that it works very well. It is designed for use with lacquer-based touch-up paint on modern poly-type finishes.

Jerry -

I am very interested in the Langka product, do you think that you could elaborate a little on your experience?

Was it a simple or difficult process? Does it harm the clear coat in any way? Do you feel that the quality of the results was superior, or less than what you were anticipating? Thanks.
