Chevy parts department. They will probably have to order it for you. I had a 07 Atomic orange Z06. Not a real popular color so they don't usually carry it.

Check out the Genicolor Touch-up Paint Pen.

High quality, easy to control fine-tip pen applicator.

Are you looking to touch up small nicks or do you need to spray a small area?

If it is just small nicks, I have use Dr Color Chip. Does a good job, not as good as their make it on the demo video , but it is not real noticeable when done. You need to get real close and if you area not aware of the touch up, you most likely won't see it.
For a spray application try Automotivetouchup. They mix it for you based on your paint code and have the clearcoat also. I used their produce on my Torch Red C5 and it was a perfect match. Of course there is a little more work involved with prep, base coat clearcoat, wet sanding and buffing.
