Touch-up paint for Graphite Matte
Ask for GM 12DN and give the model year: paint suppliers mix by code, and some codes have several variants (this one also appears as 12PM, 19DN, 7701).
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.
Read the touch-up paint guide before you start.
