I have a DEEP 2 inch scratch on my bumper right below my taillight. It needs to filled in with touch up paint.
My car is a `twilight blue` infinity G35... the tricky thing about this paint is that its basically dark blue with a pearl coat. Where can I purchase the touch up paint in a small bottle and would I need to apply a bit of clear coat too?

IME there`s no way to get a color like that to touchup without showing, but you can make it a lot better.
I`d apply the touchup paint with a small artist`s brush; I generally choose between sizes 10/0 and 20/0 ("ten-oh" and "twenty-oh"). Then use Langka or wetsand.
Alright thanks... so if I purchase the 2oz bottle apply it on with thin layers and then sand it off... would I need to apply a clear coat too or no?

I just got a 2 oz. bottle for the Yukon, and IMO it`s gonna go bad long before I use even 1/8 ounce of it. My tiny bottle of clear has gone bad (after about 18 months) and I`ve hardly used any of it. A tiny bit of touchup paint goes a long way.
