Default Touching Up Pearl White color

Just gave her a wash and see a few spots that need to be touched up. Our RX is pearl white. Since pearl white is typically a multi stage paint, how do I go about touching it up? Does Lexus dealer even sell the touchup paint?

Less than $10 at your Toyota Dealer. Part Number 00258-00077-21 Starfire Pearl. My dealer charged $9.36 and $10.14 after tax. Amazon has
the same paint for $11 shipped the same paint for $11 shipped
. Verify your paint color by looking at the driver door information. C code is 077 if your vehicle is Starfire pearl.

Apply sparingly using multiple coats and then apply a clear coat. The dealer indicated the paint included a clear coat but it did not. I used a clear coat that I had from an Acura touch-up kit. The paint can be applied using a pen point or brush. I found the pen point delivered too much paint to small areas and I had better success with the brush.
