Touch-up paint for Shale Matte
Ask for GM 149B and give the model year: paint suppliers mix by code, and some codes have several variants (this one also appears as 15, 5).
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.
