Default Flat black touch up paint?

Working on a set of 13-spoke mags from a 2005 XL1200R. Unfortunately, had some excess brake cleaner eat away at a couple spots on the wheel.




Does anyone have any suggestions on a decently matching touch up paint I could try and use?

Thanks

I'm not sure if you took care of this already, but SEM trim black paint is the best paint I have used for many things black. Its coverage is great and it lays down very flat (not the color, but evenly). You can get it in various shades of black, Matte, Semi-gloss, and Gloss. Again, SEM is the brand.

Good luck.
