Touch up paint
Hey everyone! I have been searching all morning but can't find anything. I am trying to see if there is a quality touch up spray paint for my 03 MCS. It is BRG. My car has lived most of it's life in southern Texas I believe and has some spots where the clear coat is bad, I just want to be able to have some for when I try to correct it. If anyone knows of where I can get it, please let me know, thanks.

However, if you are possibly looking at painting the whole car, might be better to get a few quotes from local shops that can spray the whole thing at once.

I will be buying from them for my current Mini.

As someone mentioned, automotivetouchup.com. I’ve ordered paint for multiple cars from there and it’s much closer than the typical dealership pens. You can get almost any size paint needed from a pen, small bottle, spray paint or even a full gallon. Be sure to order your clear coat as well.

I too have used automotivetouchup.com for years with total satisfaction
but a warning ... you mention BRG
dark green metallic is almost as bad a red wrt sun fade. You will buy 'original formula' color and it will match UN-FADED paint ...
and you mention clear coat failure ... which is typically caused by the sun... if the sun cooked the clear odds are it changed the color ...
I've done some car painting ... been to classes put on by paint companies about what their paints can and can not do ....
spray a 'test card' with the new color AND clear for comparison b4 you commit the paint to the car lest you end up with a bigger problem
just sayin .....
and btw .... blending the color and patching damaged clear is not a simple process .... pros often find it much easier to respray the entire panel/part ... which is best NOT done with rattle cans

Clear 2 part spray paint
Here is a link to a great product if you are looking to repair clear. Also get some fade-in paint to melt the new clear into the old. There are plenty of videos available on how to properly spot repair paint. I have an 06 MCS that is BRG and I have a small spot of peeling clear.
