Touch-up from Automotive Paint

I've finished assembling my Blazer's front clip, and there are just a few spots where I need to fix a little damage. Is there a way to use automotive paint to make a touch-up paint? I realize I can mix up a tiny batch in the regular proportions, but is there a way to make a small batch that could be kept in a sealed bottle and used whenever it's needed?

Thanks!

Re: Touch-up from Automotive Paint

I think you could just use straight paint...kinda like the duplicolor repair bottles you get at a parts store..just takes awhile to dry....but I've had to do a couple of spots on mine...what I'd did was use toothpicks..dip one in paint, and another in hardner, and count drops of each to match the mix ratio of the paint..then stir it up with another toothpick and dab in the repair spot...seems to work good..
What I plan on is keeping some paint and hardner separated for future repairs..
