Aug 6, 2019 at 23:29 comment added Batman @AndyP - thats interesting. Criggie - they do sell color matching vinyl for cars; works well for metalics on small areas vs touchup paint. Might be something to pursue.
Aug 2, 2019 at 22:52 comment added Criggie Could you put a decal/sticker over the area as an alternative ?
Aug 2, 2019 at 7:45 comment added Andy P @Batman My BMC Teamelite came with a tiny bottle of touch up paint. Agreed on the automotive paint though - have successfully used that on my charge cooker to touch up a couple of scrapes after I fell off on some oil
Aug 2, 2019 at 0:25 comment added DavidW What @ArgentiApparatus said. Even if you find the exact original paint colour, it won't match now because the paint on the frame will have aged/faded/discoloured.
Aug 1, 2019 at 22:31 comment added Argenti Apparatus If you really want a flawless paint finish, you'll have to repaint the whole frame.
Aug 1, 2019 at 22:28 comment added Andrew Henle You can also try someplace that sells a large variety of nail polish.
Aug 1, 2019 at 21:55 comment added Batman You could try to look for automotive touchup (maybe go to a local body shop to see if they can find a similar color, or cut a sample and send it to a service that does touchup paints). Or check another (regular) paint supplier; their scanner machine (depending on type) might be able to match something (or possibly a swatch). Or, just let it be. As far as I know, no bicycle manufacturer makes touchup paints.
