I have used just about every type/brand of touch up paint out there. The paints I've gotten from Automotivetouchup to be as close to a perfect match as could be expected. I buy the 2 oz. bottle ($15.98) which gives one way more than usually need for touch up jobs. You'll need to buy a bottle of clear coat as well.
As far as the micro dabbers they sell for applying the paint, I've found that using a book of matches and cutting the match at a 45 degree angle works just as good and is cheap.

Does anyone have a paint code for the silver they use on the bumpers and bash plate?

Hi all, just wanted to update this thread for those trying to find a touch up paint for their bumper/fenders on a gen 3. J7 is not even close to a match, it is many many shades lighter and looks horrific. I just tried it and am back to the drawing board.

Even J7 on a Gen2 bumper was hit or miss depending on how you applied it. That metallic is hard to lay down just right.
