Default running board touchup code?

I purchased take-off running boards ( I think they were 2021) to replace my flaking chrome crappy ones. The one running board has a scratch in it I would like to fix however I can't seem to find the correct color paint for it.
It is not Magnetic Gray (J7) nor is it Carbon Gray (M7) Can anyone help me As I do not have readable stickers on the bottom of these things.

there isn't a paint code for those, your best bet is go to a body shop and have them custom mix some

Perhaps you could find a color that is close, and paint the entire running board?

Those stock running boards are cheap thin aluminum and easily crack when door dinged. If you want them to last you need to bed line them, or just rip them off and put on heavy duty solid aluminum raptor running boards.
