I'm going to check this out. Not for touchups (my SC is too far gone for that) but I'm toying with the idea of painting one of my rear racks green to go with it. I just googled the color chart, it's always a little hard to compare real life to computer screen color, but it looks pretty close. An acrylic paint, though. Not sure if that would work very well long term.
