Default Qsilver touchup paint ?

Is quicksilver just that hard to duplicate that no one offers it?
Sources I've checked don't offer U12 as a touchup code, has anyone else found ANY? I have a bad mark on my lower rocker that can't be seen unless you're down low but it bothers me just knowing it's there.
Trying to repair myself rather than paying high "body shop" prices they'll charge for a qt. of custom mix.
