Advice on touchup paint?

Stopped at the local BMW agency for a hat and some touchup paint...gal quoted me a nearly $50 bill, and the hat was only $17...darn near $30 for the paint seemed a little excessive, tho' my efforts to find a better deal online have been fruitless.
Any advice on touchup paint, better deals on such, and where to get it? Or should I simply go and pay the dealer?
Thanks,
and Merry Christmas,
Moon

They are reasonable...

Also the metallics and especially the Tricolor paints may be more $$

Thnx, 'berg. I've given them a try; not a huge savings over the dealer, but the whole notion of $30+ for touchup paint simply pissed me off. As long as the customers are willing to pay it, the dealer will keep charging it.
Thnx,

If you have a scratch or chip that you can feel with fingernail, these guy's system that includes a simple repair filler works nicely.
