Default Help with touch up paint

Someone decided to key my car when I was at work today but it wasn't to bad, where can I get some good touch up paint for it? Or do i have to go to a dealer for the exact color? It's a black 05 GT.

I went to the dealer for mine. It costed around $10.

How deep is the scratch? Is the primer still there? If it is hard to tell use a magnifying glass.

I would be furious as well. Last I did a chip in mine I had to get primer in there. I cleaned it first with a Q tip. Then put the primer in by using a toothpick and a magnifying glass. "Important" my paint is an 04. I believe the 04 was the last year they used the old style paint. Hopefully one of the other guys can come along and clarify what the differences are.
