Touch-up paint
Any corvetteforum.com vendors have this stuff online? The dealer has to order it and they're already an hour drive away. I'd rather not have to go back if at all possible.

Not sure if the Forum Vendors sell them but I would imagine so.
I've used these guys before and it was a good match:

I've ordered from them several times for different cars. Always a perfect match. I used their shaker can paint to match the rest of my car for the front license plate surround.

I was able to find my exact match at Pepboys. They sell the Duplicolor 2N1 scratch fix. You can either use the small brush attached to the cap or the ball point pen type paint aplicator. Look up you car in the catalog and hopefully they will have your paint color. Didn't think that they would have Navy Blue Metallic but they did

Thanks guys, I placed an order with paintscratch.com. I just hope it doesn't really take 5 days to ship, then another 5 to get to me.. ugh. Unacceptable in this day and age but we'll see.
Neither Pep Boys nor Advanced had Electron Blue..

Another option and one I used is http://www.automotivetouchup.com/paintpen.asp I've got an EB car too and got the primer pen, then the color match and clear and it matched perfectly. 
Out of Louisiana, so pretty close...got them in the mail in a few days.

OK, so I ordered from paintscratch.com on Sept 1, and they shipped on the 6th. Considering we just lapsed the labor day weekend that's really not a bad turnaround for fresh-mixed paint.

They're a competent organization. Seems like they've got the process down real good.

I got a bottle of the GM Touch Up paint (Code 23, Nassau Blue) from Ecklers for a few bucks. Perfect match, only complaint was that it's thin. You could probably shoot it through an airbrush.
