back in the Bronze Age many Italian bikes came with pearlized paint and the concept of factory touch up paint didn't exist yet.
Most found that the only way to get a decent match for touch up was nail polish, and those who used it found it provided long term (decades) of protection. Unfortunately paint fades over time, so many of these carefully matched touch up jobs ended up looking line acne scars, but that's another issue.
