Default Where to buy touch-up paint in bottle (not pens @ dealership)

Out of the 8 So Cal Audi dealerships I called last week, only 1 had the Quartz Gray touch-up paint in stock. So I drove all the way out there and they said that Audi no longer sells touch-up paint in a bottle, but in a pen form. So I have 2 pens which I probably will never use but since I drove out there, I paid $9 for the 2 pens (1 base coat pen, 1 clear pen).

Besides paying $40 shipped for a touch-up "kit" from PaintScratch.com, does anybody have any suggestions on where to find some touch-up paint in a bottle? Instead of going to a paint place and having them mix me up a bottle (and getting the shade wrong, since the Quartz Gray has a lot of metallic and is easy to be off a shade), is there any touch-up paint bottles being sold out there for the Quartz Gray color?

I went to a auto body / paint shop in the area. The owner is an Audi Enthusiast, so he gave it to me for free. His paint was actually a better match than the pen from Audi and also came with a brush.

Cheers,

Also, it said pens.

The pen I got from Keyes Audi Van Nuys sucked. It wasn't even Audi branded.
