OEM parts question?

So my car has the P31 pkg and upon cleaning it this weekend I noticed a small scratch on one of the red calipers--it was touched up either at the VPC or my dealership, but the person used a darker red touch up (probably Mars Red).
And the touch up came off with very little effort.
I didn't take all of the touch up off because I'm sure it looks better than a very noticeable scratch in the red paint.

Now I know this is really **** and a small thing, but I want to get the proper touch up paint for these calipers--can anyone help?
The car is BRAND NEW and I feel like it should have been taken care of before I got the car, but it wasn't.
My dealer is working on it, but they seem mystified by the whole thing.
I contacted MBUSA and they were clueless too?
Can anyone who has access to the parts computer look this up for me.
I read somewhere that the paint code was referenced as U70 if that helps.
I'm assuming it's the same paint for all of AMGs red calipers--I can't be the first person to request such touch up!

Thank you in advance

I am not sure myself, but you may want to ask AMG directly there isn't any touch up paint that I am aware of for calipers it's possible that brembo does it for MB. You might want to try contacting them as well.

Hi, U70 is the PN# for the red calipers on the PP, not the paint code. I have not seen Brembo offer touch up kits either so I would say the best bet would to go with touch up solution. The best on market is G2. Below are some links for red touch up solutions. I would buy one and do test.
