Touch-up paint for Frozen Pure Grey Metallic Matte
Ask for BMW C5A and give the model year: paint suppliers mix by code, and some codes have several variants (this one also appears as N3K, WC5A).
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.
