Nail Polish to fill in scratches: Kona Cinder Gold?

JCS

Kona Fan
Probably a long shot but are there any 91 Cinder Cone owners that can recommend paint for a colour match, to touch up scratches?
A Google search revealed this, which looks closeish, although a bit too gold:

yes perfect excuse to take your bike for a walk to the shops if you can! I lug frames around model shops and chemists looking for paint and nail polish matches. Trying to match from images is real hard, a frame next to the nail polish irl is your best bet! And nail polish comes in so many colours!
 
I live with 3 females, the nail polish drawers are always a great source of bike paint touch ups. Between them I think my family have most colours!
 
It’s also possible to mix 2 x shades of nail varnish to get desired match so long as they are of the same ie enamel/oil based but not varnish with acrylic/water based.

You need to be quick mixing but once you get the ratio right you’re good to go. Nail varnish is much more durable than car paint too as it hardens better and lasts longer than modern water based car paints…
