What touchup paint do you guys like?

I'm taking the car in for detailing sometime this week and the detailer said if I got some touchup paint (2 oz bottle should be enough), that he could use it to fill in a couple small chips where some clear got chipped off of a couple small dings that I had a pdr shop pop out, as well as some scratches where a previous dealership just halfass filled them in with black paint in an attempt to somewhat make the chip or scratch look better.

The car is C197 obsidian black metallic, so I need a good quality base coat that also comes with some clear so hopefully he can fill in the chips and scratches and sand it back down to get them as perfect as possible short of having those panels sprayed at a body shop.

I suggest going to an automotive paint store and getting it mixed to match the original paint.
