Default Anybody ever have their oil tank cover painted?

While putting on my air shocks, the torque wrench slipped out of the bolt and put a deep scratch in my oil tank cover. I touched it up but it looks like crap so I wanted to go get it painted. I have 2 questions...... Does anybody know the paint code for vivid black? Does anybody know about how much it would cost to get it repainted? Thanks for any help.

Put a sticker on it, if it doesn't get too hot to make it peel.

Harley used to and I assume still make spray cans touch-ups of every color they sold. Buy one, along with some primer, do the proper prep work and take your time with the spray. It should look fine.

Thanks. If it costs too much to repaint, i might just go get the touch up paint.
