Touch up matte black paint?

[JetSedgwick]

Minor scuffs on my new bike, a matte black Levo, what's the best way to touch up the paint? I heard magic marker but that sounds really low rent.

RAL Paint no. - S183300003 ?
I’ve had a bit of a nightmare getting hold of some touch up paint, LBS scratched my frame putting some new forks in so I asked them to get me a touch up pen or paint at the beginning of August. I was told it’s on order and it’ll be with them soon, then I was told the order has been lost, then last week I was told its not coming anymore ? as Specialized are changing the way they order paint? To be honest I got the feeling I was being fobbed off a bit, the guy in my shop said to just use model paint - cunt

Don't use magic marker it will leave a gloss finish. I've used black model paint (acrylic) with excellent results. So I must be a C**t ?

If you have the RAL number any car paint shop should be able to mix you some, although it will cost you about £10 for 10th litre (the smallest amount they will mix), so the pot of model paint at about £1.50 is not a bad suggestion.
