Default Touchup Paint for 2019 GS

I have a 2019 Grand Sport and am trying to find brush or pen applied OEM touchup paint for the side skirts and “pearl nickel painted aluminum” wheels. On the side skirts there are just some tiny nicks exposing white underneath the paint on the leading edge. As far as the wheels, again there are just a few tiny nicks I’d like to touch up. Dealer where I bought the car couldn’t find those touchup paints, but did have the Watkins Glen Gray for the body actually in stock.

Would very much appreciate help on this.

eBay -
dealer/GM can’t even get me a ceramic matrix grey touch up pen, so I bought all of them which were available on eBay...

If one of them is carbon flash it's available as an AC Delco color on Amazon. It was close enough for a little rock chip.

I order all of my touchup from Automotive Touchup out of Louisiana. Excellent quality paint in any form you need. They will mix any color by code.

I also like these guys. My dad complained that the Mercedes supplied touch up did not match his 2014 MB well. I ordered him the paint from these guys and also for my Acura. The Mercedes was a perfect match and the Acura very close.

Either of these two places should get you an excellent color match.

I'd not bother with GM given the "match" of what I've gotten from them before, where as "Color-Rite" was spot on.

I like DR Colorchip the best too. Great for small chips as it's pretty low viscosity. Try a toothpick for application.
