You can try https://drcolorchip.com/ I used them on my previous car and it worked well. They have options for clear coat as well in the kit. Plug yr, model and make on their site and it will list all the color codes for you. They also have a YouTube channel on how to apply their touch up paint.

I suspect you may know this but they make PPF (paint protection film) for door handle cups, perhaps get some after your touch up. Buy pre-cut or find a tint shop that can do it for you. That way you don't have to do touch ups again in that area
