Touch up paint

Does anyone know where I might get touch up paint for a 1970's English Raleigh 3 speed LTD?

Take the bike to an automotive paint jobber and have them computer match the paint. Many wholesalers will custom mix small bottles for touch-up. It'll cost more than an off-the-shelf bottle, but you won't have to spend time looking for the right color and you'll get a perfect match.

Depending on how much you need, nail polish works pretty well.
