The touch up paint is Pure Ice “Strapless” I got at Walmart. It isn’t in the stores anymore, but looks like you can order it on-line. And as you know nail paint is harder than the original paint and doesn’t chip as easily. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bari-Pure-Ice-Nail-Polish-536CP-Strapless-0.5-oz/15056147 Took the frame right in a few stores to match it up. Tried a few different colors until I found this. It is the best match I could find but the metallic is not quite as large as the original, but the blue shade is right on. Mavic 517 laced to XTR hubs. I hate to say it, but I’m using the bike now as a hybrid and running Specialized Fatboy slicks.

You started reconditioning that frame yet? It is time consuming but worth taking the time.
