Touch-up paint for Chestnut Matte
Ask for Ford 6980 and give the model year: paint suppliers mix by code, and some codes have several variants (this one also appears as BBXAXPD).
This is a matte or low-gloss variant: use a matte clear coat, never a gloss one, and expect to repaint a whole panel rather than polish a spot.
