Default Case paint touch up

Anyone ever touch up the black paint on their cases? Some of mine is chipping off, would like to just touch it up before I re powder coat the cases this winter.

You can try high-temp black or black wrinkle paint.

I've done it with VHT paint. its a great match. I just sprayed it into the lid and used a model brush to touch up. Matched extremely well, and help up til I sold the bike

Not cheap for a can of spray paint but it will do what this gentleman says. I've used the VHT wrinkle black and the next best thing to powder coat
