Hi, Does anyone know if Giant sells touch up paint for the frame? My bike is a Trance Advance 2017. and looking for some of the "grey" color to fix a couple of deep scratches on the rear triangle.

No, giant doesn't sell touch-up paint. (Edit: transition does. The full sus vitus bikes from ‘21 I’ve built definitely haven’t come with paint, only cheap multi tools and cheaper pedals). Some brands will straight up refuse to give you paint codes, to boot. Generic automotive paint colors is what I've used. Other mechanics I've worked with have used nail polish and model paint to match more odd colors.

No, giant doesn't sell touch-up paint - in fact, I don't know of a bike company that does. Some will straight up refuse to give you paint codes, to boot.

Vitus gives a small bottle of touch up paint with new bikes.

Transition sells touch up paint for almost every frame on their webstore.
