Fuel EXe Matte Pennyflake Touchup Paint

[Ziggy]

Has anyone come up with a workable touchup paint for Trek's matte penny flake? Doesn't seem like Trek is going to provide a factory solution. I've looked at buying a custom mix, but the price is prohibitive for about an ounce, which is probably more than I need. I'm using a Revell Bronze Metallic model paint, which is somewhat close, but hardly a match. Thanks!

TK310-M was listed on treks website cant remember if its a ral or pantone reference or if someone was then trying to match it but i googled trek pantone or ral and it took me to a website where they were listing treks paint numbers

At least the paint is listed now on the Trek site, but not available.

Tried some colors from online shops, but the didn't really match. Waiting for availability.

Thanks for the feedback! Checked the Trek GB site - listed but NA. Checked the USA site - not listed. Checked again (USA) - listed - available - and I now have on order!! Strange that it is listed as matte orange, although the description clearly says pennyflake. Oh well! I will report back after I have actually received and tested. Thanks again!
