You could also talk to a bike painter. I got my old ZXR touched up for $20 as they had some paint there for my bike... (standard Kawasaki green)

If it's just small chips you might try the little tins of paint that model shops sell.

I always find that hydrochloric acid works best on jappas.

Not sure about a tube, but you could get a can from Paint Superstore. Press down once for white, twice for red and three for green.:D

Not sure if this will help, but my dad has been purchasing touch up paint for his cars/trucks through Carcolours in Albany, Auckland. $18 for 250 ml of thinners, 250ml of colour matched paint and a pencil brush.
What a deal.

Ooops getting away from the original question, ndepends on how much many you want to spend, you get spend big money on getting it done properly by a paint shop or most paint shops can make up some of your colour in a can fairly cheap:niceone:.
