I recently purchased a Rad City commuter bike and got a few scratches on it . I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get some touch up paint for the charcoal gray color. Rad does not have any info or know the paint code.
 
I have flat black 16 Rover, gloss white 16 Rover, and flat white 18 Radcity Step-Thru. The two things I did was add Lizard skin frame protector and 4 touch-up pens in black and white (in flat and gloss finishes). I applied the Lizard skin on the top tube where my foot would hit mounting the bike and down tube facing the ground for road debris. Touch up pen for pedals, rear rack, and frame if the scratch/nick shows the aluminum under the paint. A few quick dabs in the scratch and you don't see it unless you are looking for it.

Lizard skin clear large or small, Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Lizard-Skins...6&sr=8-3&keywords=lizard+skin+frame+protector

Touch-up pen in black and white from flat to gloss, Amazon, under $10 each: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JSAE0ZY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Finding a touch-up pen in the charcoal gray color might be more expensive. Might have to look for automotive touch-up paint for a closer color match.

Don't have a clue is something like the Toyota Charcoal Gray Metallic touch up paint would work for the Rad, Amazon, $12: https://www.amazon.com/Toyota-00258...32&sr=8-1&keywords=charcoal+gray+touch+up+pen
 
Any automotive aisle of a big store. Here in Canada it would be Canadian Tire, in the States - don't know, Autozone maybe. Walmart might have some too. Small $5 cans of spray-paint for practically all cars sold in the last 20 years. Hundreds and hundreds of cans. Color shown on the cap. You are guaranteed to find one that will be "close", will blend nicely if you only paint a small scratch.

Being a spray, it's not easy to paint "small", but if you spray onto a piece of rug and touch the scratch this should work. Better than nothing.

They also have VERY small jars of touch-up paint with brush applicator. Can't say about touch-up pencil, never used one.
