Best place to buy touch-up paint? Any good 'scratch detailers'?

I have a Laser Red '98, and have a few touch-up spots that could use some Laser Red paint. I probably need no more than 6 square inches of area.

Also, I have a spot where the car was keyed (previous owner). Is there any good scratch detailers you can 'run down' the scratch and help it dissappear, or would that make it worse?

Suggestions welcome!

Sadly you aren't going to find a "laser red" touch up paint, as it's a 3-stage paint

Just attempt to find something as close as possible

Good point!

Any ideas out there?

What about the key scratches along the side of the car

OH god. Lazer Red. Good luck on that one. A 3 stage paint that AIN'T CHEAP at all. Found that out when my girl wrecked her lazer red 01. For me GS-27 scratch remover actually seems to get the small scratches out that aren't major.
