Rustoleum gloss black. It's such a perfect match for the black body color I can actually touch up nicks, let them harden up a bit, and then rub them out to invisible.

Re: What "finish" of black spray paint for touching up frame?

Ive been reading that most rattle can stuff has no hardener in it and doesnt last like something mixed by a paint shop and put in an aerosol can or shot through gun. SprayMax is a line of aerosols that have a chamber of hardener in it to active just before spraying. The best paint will peel/grow rust with poor prep and cleaning.
