Default Olive green touch up paint

If anyoen saw my post about my bar you are aware of my F up and scratch in the fender. I ran some Nu Finish scratch remover product over it and it helped but I will need to do something eles. My question is- What is out there for touch up paint to match the 07 olive green?If there is nothing should I at least try to "seal" the scratch some how?
Thanks for any opinions and thoughts- please save the wise *** coments about just not scratching it in the first place. I'm aware that that is the best idea!

is the olive green a denim color?
if so then it is very easy to sand down the scratch and spraycan it . Will look like new... others have done this to their denim paint.
if not denim then this could be tough to make it look like new.

I honestly do not know if it is a denim or not. The fix does not have to be perfect. I just don't want the scratch to be a big eye catcher. I assume that the 3 foot bar will get soem looks so I don't want the scratch to be what people see the most.

if it is flat colored then it is denim.

I am almost sure the olive has a pearl in it as well. Id get the kit from the stealer too.

you can get the kit like others suggested but believe me it will be hard to blend the paint and clear in without experience....
i only say this because I'd hate for you to bite off more than you can chew and then find yourself making the small scratch into more of a mess.

I was pretty sure that it was not a denim.
I am debating a vinyl sticker of some type to go over the scratch. Maybe something AC DCish! Who knows? I agree that the painting might be more than I’m comfortable/able to do.
