They say that the 2019 EX has a frame colour code of Black NH-1, but clear coat must also be applied to achieve the correct finish. Since my scratch is only on the centre stand I'll just use some Rustoleum Satin Black enamel to keep the rust at bay.

Black Code NH-1
Darkness Black Code NH-463M
Graphite Black Code NH-B01 (as per Lord Popgun)
Matte Ballistic Black Code NH-A86M
Matte Black Code NH-105
I'll do a bit more research and see if I find out which one applies to the 2019 European version of the EX. Being a bit pedantic I'd rather use the correct paint if I can (even if it is only the side stand!).

Picture of scratch?

Is the scratch subject to oil sling from the front sprocket/chain?

Throwing my two cents in, for frame and center stand painting, I like Eastwood brand Chassis Black. It comes in gloss, which is a good match for the Honda frame, and satin, which is a good match for my Bonneville's frame. Both are very durable, but not cheap. I'm super picky about touching up little chips in the frame so I don't start to get rust blooms in the areas subject to road debris.

I use the VHT gloss black chassis paint. Very durable and will usually fade a bit to match your current shade. Get it at Oreilly Auto.
