Which do you use and like best? I've got a black 319 that has some chips I'd like to touch up.
I wouldn't pay "sewing machine" prices for touch up paint...but if you do, go for the gloss or shine finish.
I use a Rustoleum (sp?) type of gloss black paint and a really tiny brush to apply it.

You can also get automotive touch up paint as someone else suggested. I'd stay away from acrylic paint tho...it doesn't seem to me to have the staying power of an oil base enamel...

I hadn't thought automotive or Rustoleum. Good to know. Thanks.
