Default Best touch up for NBM?

Hello,

I was looking to see if anyone has found a good match for NBM on their F-bodies? I bought the duplicolor paint pen and the shade doesn't match well with my finish. My car is a garage kept 30k mile car and the paint isn't faded. Does anyone have a recommendation on another touch up paint that might be more accurate?

Automotive Touchup seems to match really well.

I bought a pen/brush style one from a GM dealership years ago, its the same color code so its an exact match. Works perfect.
Id go to a local dealer and tell them your color code and have them order you one or see if they have any in stock.

If the touchup paint is just basecoat, you should try to put clear over it or it might look different because it dries flat, not shiny.
Worth a shot.
