I haven't yet looked up paint codes or what paint brand to use on mine. Sometimes the paint code is on a label or printed on the back side of a plastic part. It might be on the label under the seat or behind the fairing or on the VIN plate.
Sounds like you have the Space Grey color but not the Matte Silver Crystal. The Space Grey is a gloss finish but all the other colors are Matte and not glossy or satin, etc. Of course, only the gloss can be waxed. Never wax a Matte finish or it will be damaged.

I looked up touch up paint for Kymco and found this place. Not sure if it has what you need but you can look.
