Default Touch-up paint

Looking for touch-up paint to match the frame rails.I tried all the available blacks;flat,semi-gloss & gloss. Nothing matches.Anyone found one that does?
Just tried my local Chevy dealer with no luck.
Keep waving,Ray

I too tried to find a good match.
Finally ended up using Rust Oleum semi-gloss black.
