Does anybody have any recommendations on where to get touch up paint? Just need the small jar with brush. And is there a place that can do it in single stage?
 
Depending on color...
If we are talking old mopar colors, I doubt there are any in the duplicolor stuff available now. Not likely they would match old faded paint anyway. But you can probable find something close. Not sure what the smallest size would be, but any auto paint store can mix what you need.
 
NAPA mixed paint for me and put it in a rattle can. Color matched perfectly.
Yote
Most pro auto paint stores can do that. If you did not do the pint work, take the car to the paint store, let them, computer color match it, and get a pint or qt and a small artist brush in single stage urethane, if toching up little scratch or whatever, other wise use the pint they put in that aerosol like just mentioned....
 
My auto paint store will match your paint in a spray can for $40. clear coat paint need not apply.

NAPA mixed a can of spray bomb, that I used on my kids car for $17, it was single stage mixed clear coat color.

single stage mixed clear coat color? So was it very dull after it dried and needed a top coat of clear to bring the color out? $17 is cheap, CA probably has a bunch of VOC regs to comply with and it may jack the price up.
 
Need this in the 1oz touch up jar
Unless you can find a 'close enough' touch up color in an auto parts store - You will likely have to buy (or at least pay for) more than 1 oz. I don't know what the minimum mix quantity is, but I would think about a pint. I have never bought less than a quart myself. Even the touch ups are not cheap, so might be worth it to buy a small can vs. try several wrong colors if not sure what to get. What color are you trying to match?

Single stage but it was a factory clear coat color, it matched fine, I used it on the rocker panels.
