Matte black touch-up paint for M Performance lip?

You know what that thread title means. Was chatting with my father-in-law, distracted, and pulled too far into a parking spot this weekend. Only a light tap, but enough to chip the matte black plastic a bit on the bottom edge of the lip. Just visible from the front, so I think with a little touch-up pain I will be able to avoid freaking out about it. Worst part is I have no one to blame but myself, just careless. Well I blame my father-in-law on some level, of course.

Anyway, was going to just get some flat black Rustoleum touch-up paint from Home Depot , but before I did I figured I'd post and see if anyone has done this and found a touch-up paint that worked/matched particularly well. If so, let me know what worked. If not, I'll update the thread with how the Home Depot route comes out.

This does not require and adhesion promoter to stick to any bare plastic areas.

There is a video link and other resource links on the above page that should be helpful.

Thanks, I'll check that out. I guess the implication is that a standard touch-up paint like you'd use on paint won't adhere to the plastic properly?

Well, so far I decided to go the scientific, high-end route for this touch-up: a sharpie. Works for me as it's on the underside of the lip and not all that visible.
