Touch-up paint for Taupe Matte

Ask for Mazda 6518 and give the model year: paint suppliers mix by code, and some codes have several variants (this one also appears as M6518D).

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.
