Bike touch up paint source?

Any suggestions for finding the trek true blue touch up paint?
Its for a 2012 8.3 ds and the color name I'm finding is true blue. Not sure of its paint code?

Nothing from the automotive selection is coming close. Aside from having it custom made, I'm curious who'd sell the little pen/brush with matching shade of blue?

automotive paint supply stores have a computer scanner device that can accurately match any paint color, then they can mix up some for you...

Nail polish or modeling paint like Tamiya or Testors might work.

From talking with trek, they do not provide touch up paint.
