Post Exterior window trim "Touch Up" paint

I recently used a dr. colorchip kit on my 1992 Lexus ls400 and love the results (will post before/after pics once 100% complete)

My question, does anyone know of a certain black for window trim touch up? I would like to do some touching up on the windshield and b pillar trim. Not bad enough to justify a respray, just looking for some light touching up. Thanks in advance.

i had good results with testors black enamel paint that you can purchase at your local hobby store.

use a clean brush and touch up! really, any black gloss enamel will work. you can even use spray paint, spray onto a paper plate, and use a brush to touch up. same outcome.

Ill have to give it a shot, does it dry full gloss? I would say this trim is more of a shiny satin then a full gloss. I know it might be hard to find a perfect match.....
