Get it from the dealer, it was $70 from memory. Not worth the risk of buying something aftermarket and it not matching in my opinion.
You get it in a little bottle and brush. Just dab it on the chip/scratch and itll self level. If you have an orbital buffer you can polish over it and get it to look very good and hard to notice. A touch up won't fix something like a door ding where the sheet metal has been bent though.

I don't bother using the clear. I just use the paint and leave the blob on the paint for 15 mins. Then I use a tissue with isopropyl alcohol to remove the excess and level it out. Leave it to dry completely and buff it with an orbital. There's probably more I could do but you can't really notice it after doing this.
