Yep, Autobarn do have B177 (off the shelf) in the small "nail polish" style bottles.
Then suggest you go to Bunnings, in the "art & craft" section buy a couple of the smallest fine tip brushes (about $2 ea) as the brush in the bottle may be too big for fine scratches.
Worked for me...

i always recommend getting touch up paints from the manufacturer. that being said you can get them genuine on ebay uk.

I personally dont like touch ups. just respray the whole car if it gets a scratch :)

that would be the ideal way to get a respray though its probably an over kill to respray the whole car for a scratch :D

when you have everything to do it and know how to do it, its about the same cost for me to respray a car as it is to buy a genuine bottle of touch up paint.

FML. Went to Autobarn in Dandenong and got my paint (provided paint code), It's the wrong ****ing colour.

DON'T RECOMMEND.

Holden/Dealer or nothing imho.
