Painting the egg

I recently purchased an xl used green egg from my buddy.  There is an area that is pretty good size that has chipped off at some point.  Purchased touch up paint but that won't be near enough.  Can you get the paint in quart size and if so where?  

Has anyone ever covered chipped off spots before? 

Thanks

    the egg is not painted, it is ceramic glaze (glass, for all intents and purposes).  I believe BGE does sell touch up paint, but the egg itself is not painted.

    Contact BGE direct. They sent me a little bottle that worked great.

    I have used this on a really old Kamado.  It might not have even been an egg.  But it was green like an egg and needed a touch up from sitting outside for so long.   The Kamado soaked up this paint.  So much that I had to put 2 or 3 light coats to make it look painted.  But this particular Kamado was clay, not ceramic.  I'm not sure how it'll work on ceramic but the color should be pretty close.
