Touch-up paint for Satinsilber Metallic
Ask for Volkswagen 9940 and give the model year: paint suppliers mix by code, and some codes have several variants (this one also appears as 9973, C1, LB7Z).
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.
