Default Engine flaking paint!

Okay I was outside having a beer and deciding to wash my bike. When I was drying it off, I was cleaning between the push rod covers and the black engine paint came off. Its only about a inch sqaured area in between the push rod covers. I thought that i would never come off but I was wrong I guess. Is there paint I can get to cover up the spot? Have any of you had this problem?

Yeah, just black hi temp engine paint, clean the area real good, wipe with laquer thiner, then re-paint, if yuo don't want to mask it off, spray the paint in the lid, and use a small hobby brush. keep the thinner rag handy in case you get some on your chrome
