    I own a 2019 Great Dane Trailer. I accidentally scratched a line on the side of it and I need to cover it. The line is not too thick or long, but I want to get it covered for personal preference.

    Does anyone know where I can buy the same paint color? No stores seem to sell an exact match.

    Also, would it be smarter to cover it with some kind of reflective sticker decal? If so, does anyone have any suggestions where to buy one and what kind?

    Put a decal over it or have a paint shop paint over it with a sign that says, "Air Ride Equipped".
    This way, if your trailer isn't air ride, you can still get loads that require air ride.

    I called several Great Dane places (dealers and service) and only one of them gave me a paint number. Looked it up and called several paint stores/companies and no one can find the number online. Is it possible that this specific paint is not for sale yet?

    95% chance it'll match or it will match 95% of the paint color?

    I think decal will be easiest. Every bought one or have suggestions where to buy one?

    No, I've never bought one, but talked to drivers that did that and were very satisfied.
    Did a google search "air ride equipped decals" and found several places that sell "Air Ride Equipped" decals.
    Here's some photos:
