Try the body shop, they might have an open can of the base (color) and also the clearcoat. Use the color to get the color back in the chip, then fill the chip with clearcoat. Wet sand and polish and it will be pretty much undetectable.

Your dealer can order one for you.

Getting anything from a dealer can be a pain in the neck.

Not to be argumentative but it was no hassle to get mine from the dealer. They had it in stock on the counter for about 7 or 8 bucks as
I recall. I bought fast silver but you will probably want yellow.

I would just go to the dealer. It is your best shot to get a good match.
