Maybe, maybe not. All in all, the "one quart minimum" at a parts store
or body shop (the better choice, IMO) ain't all that bad for an exact
match.

I have had good luck looking at nail polish, including dragging a frame
into the store to match it up. Huge number of colors,lots of metallics.

Get a child's wax crayon the same colour or slightly darker than the
paint, and rub it into the chip or scratch, polishing off any excess
with a cloth. Car dealers do it and it lasts much longer than you might
expect.

Roll your bike up to the nail polish counter at a drugstore. Seriously
it's great quality with an exceptional range of reds. (Black and chrome
now, too!)

If they're small nicks, then either nail polish or Testor's model
paint from the hobby store will work fine.

Take the bike to an automotive body shop, they can match the paint.

An Auto parts store can pull out their color book... but the minimum
buy is a quart at about $20. You might be able to find a better price
in the touch up paints at the same store if they have a good selection
of those.
