Door jamb paint issue

So my paint is good on the truck. I unfortunately have this paint peeling on the driverside door jamb pillar. Seafoam original color showing.. I really don't want to repaint it and all. Any quick ways to hide it you think? It's not a show truck but the rest of the paint is 9/10.

Do you know the color? If so you can probably get a rattle can made up. Sand and prep the area then paint.

Take a chip off the paint and have a rattle can mixed from a paint vendor. Be sure an lightly sand, clean well with lacquer thinner before masking and just spray the whole jamb. It wasn’t prepped....that’s why it peeled.

I had good luck with these guys
https://www.auto-color.com/
They spent a bunch of time with me on the phone to determine the best material for what I was doing. I sent a chip, and got a can back.
And BTW, we have nearly identical red over original seafoam blue trucks - must have been a thing.

If you want post a pic of your warranty plate and I'll decode it. Seafoam Green was only used in 1951, 1953 and 1968. There was no Seafoam Blue, only Green - although it did look a bit bluish.

Oh, sure - I was just guessing, based on the OP's notes. It's some kind of light blue, shown in 2nd pic
