Anyone know where i can get a quart or so of factory Mazda brilliant black paint? I need some for some touching up and possibly repainting my driver door...

One can't get 'factory' paint; paint used by manufacturers are different than that used by repair shops. The paints that manufacturers use are designed to cure in a high(er) heat environment (bake room) than what a typical repair shop can do. Because it's not cost effective to strip a car down to a shell after it's been built for the general auto repair market, those paints are designed to cure under less (or no) heat.

Your best bet is to contact your local auto paint supplier for big jobs (look in yellow pages for auto paints or auto repair shop supplier). Those type of paints are multi component however; hardner/reducer/etc are required for it to work (though if you are talking paint chips, just the paint itself might work for touch ups)

If you are talking small paint chips, just go to your local Autozone (or Mazda dealership) and get a bottle of touch up paint. Non-metallic black is easy to match.

You don't want the exact copy of the original paint anyway, the stock paint is faded and if you paint an exact match on, it'll be darker and won't match. Take the car into a respected paint shop and they can mix you up a can of paint that'll match much better.

FYI, on my car, I found that Duplicolor universal black spray cans are a near perfect match to the stock paint.
