    where to buy touch up paint (in small quantities)?

    the paint on the wall chipped a little bit and it is a bit unsightly. I put some putty on it, and now need to paint over it, but not sure where to buy the paint. I went to a store on Wan Chai (on Thompson road) that sells paint, but their smallest size is still a pretty good size can for 95HKD. I dont need that much; literally just a small tube if they even have that.

    Any other place to buy paint, and in smaller sizes? Preferable in the Tsing yi or Wan Chai area.

    You can goto the model airplane / toy shops and buy a very small bottle of paint. UML Hobbies in Causeway Bay has a good selection (and various other stores throughout the city).

    Though if you are going to be there awhile, a 1 liter can will actually get more use as you scuff and scrape the walls over the next few years.

    Be sure to take some paint chips with you to match the colors as best you can.
