You dint have any suzukidealer around? Otgerwise its around 15 dollars. Maybe double if you go to a paintshop. I dont understand a 200 dollar price for few dropz of paint.

Suzuki never sold touch-up paint. There were no OE p/n's at the time I purchased our cars. I used a different 3rd party on-line outfit when I painted the mud guards, and the color match was wrong at first, then no so great on their second try. It was not Dr. color chip though.

I've ordered touch-up paint from this site for a few cars including my Kizashi and the paint was spot-on. Just provide the paint code that's on the passenger side placard in the door frame.
That being said, I think touch-up paint in general has limited use. The Kizashi has crappy thin paint that chips very easily. If the little and numerous chips are what you're trying to fix, Dr. Colorchip is a far better solution. I tried it out this year and it works to cover small chips much better given it works more like a lightweight coat over the chips rather than concentrated dabs like touch-up paint. It's easier to apply and blends in so much better. I personally think touch-up is only better for deep scratches that expose bare metal therefore you need a thick coating of paint to prevent oxidation.

I ordered my Kizashi's touch up paint here: https://www.ebay.com/usr/nabobery and I'm satisfied with the result.
To order from here, or anywhere, you'll need the paint code which can be found on the sticker in the door frame (rear right in my case). For example: ZMW, ZMT, ZMU, ZNB just to name a few.
Important! Among touch up paint you must apply clear coat otherwise the paint will chip off. I ordered from here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202396633947
For best results both the paint and the clear coat has to be applied a few times
