With Waterford frames, you can call them and order actual touchup paint to match. However those models are not Waterford, so if I were you I'd just call Riv and inquire about the actual touchup paint. They aren't going to force red nail polish down your throat if you tell them you want an actual

Try your local paint store. They typically sell sample 4 oz cans of any color at very little cost. You can take some chips, match it to your frames and then they'll mix up gloss in that color for you. Will come very close, but not likely to be a perfect match. On Wednesday, August 22, 2018 a
