Default Paint Question

I have a 2014 Convertible and I'm looking for a solution to covering paint scratches on inside of trunk lid. I show the car occasionally in judged shows and would like to find a touch-up black paint that will match the existing flat black. My dealership said they only have touch up paints for exterior. Has anyone found a touch-up color that matches; or has come up with an alternate solution such as doing a vinyl wrap?

I had the same situation on our '03 convertible. At the time, I used GM Goodwrench engine enamel, low gloss black, part #12346296.
This has been replaced, I believe, with GM Vehicle Care engine enamel, low gloss black, part # 89021939.
These should give you the flat black 'eggshell' type sheen that the underhood and trunk lid underside have from the factory.
I last used this on my '05 a couple of years ago so there may be another new/updated formulation and part number. Hope this helps.
