Touch up paint

I have a few stone clips and a scratch on my 98 a4 and I was wondering where I can find touch up paint for it? My color is Melange Metallic.
Thanks

you can get touch up paint from the dealership, but expect to pay a ridiculous amount for what you get.

Back home there was an auto body paint supplier, can't recall the name at the moment, but they use OEM paint codes to custom mix batches of paint for you. You might look around for someplace like that near you?

How difficult is touch up paint? Is it going to look bad if I just touch up some scratches? I've also got a spot of surface rust on the trunk, and DIYing that would be cool.
