Touch up Paint

I've got a few deep scratches on the hood of my Evo. Does anyone know where I might find small BOTTLES of tarmac black? The dealerships just seem to carry the touch up pens. I really want to airbrush the paint on so the pens are . I looked at a couple places on the intrawebs but they all seem to list 'labrador black' as the x42 paint code. Can this be trusted??? Thanks

Yeah I'm painting it myself. Some shingles fell off a building where the car was parked. I tried to got through the whole landlord/insurance thing to get it paid for but it was just too much hassle for the little damage that was done. Basically the landlords ins. co. wouldn't pay because they claimed it was storm damage, so my only option was to pay my deductible and let geico try to sue them. It wasnt at all worth it. The damage was less than my deductible and plus I have a bit of body-work experience.
