RE: Touch up paint

Where abouts are you? In the UK I take vehicles/bikes to a paint factor. They use the VIN and paint codes (if available) to mix the correct colour. Otherwise they will use a set of paint chips and mix until they get an exact match. I have had cellulose and two pack mixed this way for Japanese (sorry) and British bikes plus several american cars. You can get the paint in a touch up can or filled as an aerosol.

RE: Touch up paint

Your dealer should be able to get you the paint you need, if not, you can always go to a paint shop where they will be able to color match what you have. They use a machine of sorts to be able to come up with the ingrediants/colors to match it.
