Be very careful when colour matching and repainting as you may end up having to blend into surrounding areas. The number of coats etc all make a difference especially if the first spray was quite thin/transperant. Car Colours are pretty good although its usually better to leave it up to the person painting your car as they can tint to suit while spraying.

I also use car colours quite a bit for repairs of various cars etc.
touch up can/pot will cost you $35-45 depending.
