Dealer proably could get you a small bottle w/ a mini brush. I'd stick w/ the dealer tho, for best color matching.

Yeah, just take your paint code to the dealer and let them get it for you. Should be under $15. I have used this method for years to touch up nicks, etc.

All new cars (Yaris) should come from the factory with a small tin of paint in the glove box! I know mine did.

What's it gonna be used for?
If you want touch-up paint, just go to the dealer.

If you were looking for anything else and wanted to actually spray the same color, you would have to go to an auto paint store and someone would mix it for you.

Some people have recommended www.paintscratch.com who sells spray cans of factory type paint...which won't match perfect...but if you don't have the tools to spray multi-stage then it's not so bad.

If you just want simple touch up paint for minor rock chips, etc, just get tuch up paint from the dealer.

However, if you need broader coverage, I also recomend www.paintscratch.com for paint supplies.
I have ordered from them in the past and they guarantee a color match.

Keep in mind that paint color can vary slightly from batch to batch and this includes factory paint.
So, any paint might not be a 100% perfect match and this is why body shop routinely (if needed) "blend" the paint into surounding areas to mask any minor mismatch.
