Hi Guys.
I am curious to know if any of you would have a paint colour code for touch up on older typewriters.

Mike,
I just end up custom-blending hobby-paints for small touch-up areas. With practice I have gotten pretty good at doing this and it is very hard to see the small touch-ups I have done on some of my machines
For larger area, I might just do a repaint with spray-paint on an entire section.
Some folks will take a cover off of a machine down to their local paint store and have them computer-scan it and make up a small pint or quart of custom-mixed paint.
Factory original paint is exposed to sunlight, UV light, and such that will change the appearance of a factory colour over time. I have some machines that even have differing hues of the same colour...result from the machine sitting near a window and getting sun-fade on only some exposures of the machine.

Sarah Everett has explored using fingernail polish in some of her YouTube videos, which can be an option for small touch ups. See:
