[s-cars] Pearl white touch up paint?

[Kirby Smith]

If you can find a dealer who mixes up lacquer, then yes.  However, with
two part catalyzing paints popular these days, you would not be able to
mix and leave indefinitely.  Also, you need three mixes, the undercoat,
the pearl coat, and the clear coat.  Still, one could buy a pint of
each.
