Question paint on Vaquero covers

I am finding that I am having paint rubbed off my air filter intake cover, throttle body air cover and cover next to the shifter. I need to repaint or at least touch up the 3 covers. Any idea what type of paint this is. looks to be the same as the engine paint however I can't fine out any numbers for the paint from the Dealer. Anybody got any paint suggestions. Paint only gets rubbed when I am wearing my chaps. Yes and before anyone says don't wear the chaps they are needed for rain and cold. Reason I am asking is that don't want to paint the 3 covers and not have them match the rest of the bike. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks BrokeAss for the information and supplier. I also was at an auto body shop who does custom paint and they gave me the name of 2 auto paint suppliers that make and mix colors locally . Apparently if I take a part in with 2-3 inches of flat surface their computor will break down the paint, supply a paint number and mix it in pints and or put it in a spray cans. Wow who knew. Thanks for all the help and opinions.
