Default DIY Paint touch up on black wheel?

Scraped front wheel on a curb and it caused damage below. Any recommendations for a DIY product for these factory BBS high gloss black 20 spoke wheels?

Sand the area smooth with very fine sandpaper. Any brush on gloss black paint should work. Be very careful with your brush strokes.

Edit, when sanding you don't need to make it perfectly smooth, just get rid of all the sharp edges.

Worked like a charm. Looks 100% better. Now I have a DIY touch up kit for future rock chips/curb scrapes
