Is this the correct paint I would want for original lacquer? Just using for touching up some little chips and scratches. I can only get it in a quart but I am ok with that if it is the right thing to use. I have a few chips and then a larger spot along the back glass.

Here is reality they just make a a certain number of colors in this paint series.

I doubt any on these will exactly match your exisitng color

you could go to a auto paint store and see if they can scan the color to match but you will not get it in lacquer probably a urethane

I've seen some paint chip companies on the internet that claim an exact match to factory color.

No idea how good they are.. the reality is that the new paint toners for each paint type and series are different then what they used when your car was made. they can come close but not exact.

Hey Eric lacquer is the easiest paint to touch up and blend...if you can find it.
Hard to describe the touch up procedure without writing a book.
I am not the resident paint expert but past experience said you definitely should not apply another base over the lacquer.

If you do find it buy a couple quarts.

As far as application I'd recommend practicing on a spare panel even if its the wrong color. Learn how to apply level and buff. A small touch-up gun or even an air brush work great for larger spots.
Dab thinned paint a little at a time several dabs. Let it tack up and reapply while still tacky. Let it dry (day or three) wet sand and buff.
You may need several applications to get it level. Be patient and let it dry good before going at it again.

By the highest quality paint and thinner you can find. Both will last a long time if you occasionally shake/stir/thin/turn can. Clean the lid to can groove each time you open n close it. Keep stored in indoors without large temp swings. Dont pound the lid on with a hammer. Use a paint can opener not a screw driver.
I have 35 year old lacquer still good doing this.
