Dealer can sell you paint, or local auto parts store.

If you are nervous about the sanding method, I also reccomend Dr.colorchip. works great and uses a chemical instead of sanding. Very easy to do.

Since duplicolor doesn't have any Mazda touch up bottles, a bit of experimenting found the TY01566 Toyota metallic black to be a decent match for Mazda Black Mica.

WTF...don't you have a Mazda dealer close by? Why bother with all these tricks and Toyota paint when most Mazda dealerships should have YOUR EXACT COLOR of touch-up paint in stock? Should be right around $5-$7 per bottle.

If you're close to me, I have a bottle of black mica that you could use. But since your location says 'colorado' (duh) I have no idea where you are.

That vieo makes fixing a chip/scratch seem extremely easy. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing it done in person.

Have you had an opportunity to fix yours up yet?
