Touching up frame paint

Hi,
My question is my frame was originally sandblasted and coated with por-15 since then I've done some grinding (frame rivets) so I was wondering if it's worth buying the same paint or any suggestions what I could touch it up with. It's semi gloss now and you really won't be able to see it. Thanks

I bought the truck/frame from a guy and all he told me it was por-15 so I'm unsure. It doesn't seem to be top coated.

Well seeing that you can't see it you could just prep the area and then primer it and paint it black, If you are going to do it with "rattle can paint" Rustoleum is not to bad and not to expensive, or find a can of classic black caot (made by por-15) it does a nice job

You can get POR-15 in a half pint can for doing small jobs like what you want to do, or they sell a "starter kit" with metal ready and marine clean for the full effect.
