Need black touch-up paint for wheels

Anyone ever used basic touch-up paint in order to cover up
curb rash on black gloss wheels?
The wheels are gloss black Varrstoens and the curb rash is very minor.
It's right no the very edge of the lip.

Go to a hobby store and ask them for black model paint.

LOL, Exactly what I was thinking this morning.
I remember those paints being pretty durable when doing models back in the day.
Thanks!

They were a semi matte finish but I saw some surface blemishes so I took some cleaner wax to them and now they have a semi gloss finish.
I actually like this look better now.
It was a combo of my dumbass and a really tight bank drive-thru.
Luckily it's hardly even noticeable after cleaning.
But a little model paint would completely cover it up.

Mine was even shine all around.
Even the plastic center cap matched up well with the rest of the wheel.
