Touch up paint

I was able to fix the tail and went hog wild with Epoxy and JB Weld PLastic putty. I was wondering if anyone has a source of touch up paint or the code they used
from the touch up paint sold at Autozone. My handy work doesn't look bad at all but is not as pretty as Seb's when he epoxied the tail together.
I put epoxy in all of the joints underneath and 90% of it you can't see but I had a few oops's in there that I need to clean off. I had to epoxy my right
turn signal back in a long with underneath I had to make something out of the putty. The gaps were created by how it disintegrated underneath the
right turn signal. Now the tail is so much more rigid but I have to paint the plastic putty that is showing.

Try this link.  They have your color, though it's not cheap.  Someone here may have used their paints - I have not, so I cannot speak to the quality and the match.

The area I need to paint is about a quarter inch wide and 2 1/2 inches long. I just want to leave the putty because it really firmed up the rear tail.
It's just a shame I caught it late when the right side pretty much disintegrated.

Its right below where the right turn signal attaches to the tail light, so I don't mind close. I just wanted to see if anyone else had a paint code I could use.

Once I make it pretty I will post a picture of my handy work..
Right now it looks like chewed gum filling the gap on the bottom lol
