  Hello,
  
  for each stock car paint color ,
  is it freely available to buy a small can in case of minor scratches where you can DIY?

  I think the colour of the car paint changes slightly as time goes by (due to effect from sun, air, etc), and thus if you paint over a tiny area, it can be rather obvious, and it will only blend in after a while

  You can get a small bottle of paint for touching up from your dealer when you go for servicing. Done it at Mazda Motor and Kah Motor. Apparently C&C allows it too.

  Get a Pantone colour booklet to match the paint to the current hue of your car's paint. It's available at Art Friend and Autobacs.

  I am grateful for the help I am getting from you , the forumers, the contributors and fun people of sgforums.
  
  I need to ask, is it better price to get the paint from car distributors or other avenue if I just need a very small can of paint ? Is it spray paint or otherwise?
  
  thanks!

  If you need a small bottle, the dealer workshop can give you for free, the size of a film bottle. I don't think they sell you the paint.
  
  If you want to buy, get it from shops like Autobacs
