Default Touch Up Paint

Hey Gang
Riding around the other day I stopped by the dealer just looking around. I thought I would ask the guy at the counter if he had touch up paint for my '11 RKC. Dude said he would have to order it. I ask how much. He looks it up and says -------------ABOUT $35 --------------
Ouch, ouch, ouch! Sad thing, I thought about two of them, for my two tone Candy Rootbeer.
Thinking about checking behind door #2...

thats cheap. I have a 2012 skunk model CVO road glide. I purchased the touch up paint to correct a nick in my tank from a minor incident courtesy of a 2 year old. $52.00. You get three bottles of paint. the base coat, of both colors (in my case black and white, then you get the clear gold pearl. It takes 2 of the three bottles depending on which color you are touching up.
i searched the auto parts stores for comparable paint prior to purchase. No joy, you got to buy from mother HD.

I've mixed my own, get primary colors and mix till you get a match, flaking is difficult if you need to add to match but custom is fun to do.

Never could consider buying from dealer here, it would be about $100 with shipping & dealer markup.

No luck so far with door #2.
Looks like I may have to do the two tone touch up two step with the MoCo.
Is the vasoline included?
