Touch up painting question

[m_curtin52]

Now that my bike is all fixed up, i want to paint over the areas where the paint was scraped off. My motorcycle is black, anyone have any suggestion as to what type or brand of paint I should use to get good durability and the closest match to the original paint?

I painted my bike black using a GLOSS finish then put decals on it, I am planning on using a finish on it now that's it's painted and the new paint that dripped has been sanded and painted lol. Just use light even sprays no matter what paint you use and if you feel you used to much or got too close use a fine sand paper to sand off the drips then paint over jsut that area again. Use tap and paper to cover all the parts you don't want paint on. I used a trash bag over the gauges and the handle bars and it worked good, you jsut have to take it off before the paint dries or it will stick and ruin the paint. a Pic of the finished product (without the finish) is on my profile and everyone really likes the finished product.
