I've always just used duplicolor from autozone for touch up paint and have been very happy. I don't know if they have this color, if not paintscratch.com has been pretty good at the newer colors. The dealer would also work. Look through the detailing section of the FAQ and there are some tips on filling in chips and scratches. IMHO, proper use of touch up paint is more important than brand as long as the color matches.
I know that VAG sells touch-up paint sets in Europe. Thus, it's worth checking at your local dealer's. Then the color code of your car will be used and the paint will match absolutely, especially for not so old cars with the paint not changed due to the sun and time.
I've been using these guys for many years now and find them hard to beat regarding quality. It would be best to obtain your factory paint code and then look it up on the following site: http://automotivetouchup.com/ Later!

I did I just asked for it. Actually I asked if the do touch up paint pots they said they do, do you want one? I also asked for a bottle of engine oil as they used to supply this free with the Mk5 and they gave me a litre. Thats the only free thing you get of VW as they are very tight.

For my CW .:R32 I used http://www.paintscratch.com/. Perfect match. The TDI came with Shark Blue Metallic from the dealer because I asked for it at the time of purchase.
I also use the Blob Eliminator for rock chips from http://www.langka.com/
Works very will with the CW paint. Good luck everyone. Not affiliated with either.
