Does Ford not sell touch-up paint for their cars? I ask because today I found, buried in a drawer, a Tesla red touch-up paint kit for my long-gone Model 3. Not much good for my Grabber Yellow MME, but fortunately I don't need it ...Yet.

Ford definitely does sell it, along with many other third parties. The real question is how well a given person can do it especially with the fact that at least for my Mach-E it has metallic paint and what you will get from Ford is just the base color and a clear coat.

I believe it's metallic paint...

I have touched up mine using the Motorcraft touch up paint pen you can get from the dealer. It has a base and a clear paint in it. But I applied it with a micro-applicator instead of the included brush. There are many videos describing how to do this on youtube. One is called "How To Touch Up Stone Chips on Your Car" on "Classic Car Maintenance". I think mine would have turned out better if it wasn't in such a tight spot. It was a deep scratch going down into the black plastic. You can barely make it out now in the lower half of the picture.
