We have a "bone" colored fiberglass bathtub with some scratched areas
on the outside.

What type of store would sell touch-up paint/coating to repair the
(external) scratches?
(the local home centers and bathroom stores don't seem to stock this).

I am looking for a physical store (not online) so that I can go in and
see the colors accurately before purchasing.

Thanks

Maybe a shop that sells paint touchups for cars could match what you need?

You probably need something like this:

Go to an Ace or True Value or probably Home Depot.

Thanks - but actually the problem is not really a "porcelain chip" so
much as trying to cover the area where the fiberglass coating has worn
off. Trick is more one of getting the right color I think which is why
I am trying to figure out what type of store would stock a wide range
of colors...

why not just redo the entire tub? then you don't have fading/yellowing or
matching problems. I've read the urethane coatings the refinishing pros use
is the best.
