What is the best match for touching up the stone chips & minor corrosion on the front of the engine, forks, fork brace etc. I looked at the Hammerite silver which seems close. Any other ideas?

This is an old thread, but I haven't found anything better !
I have 'scuffed' the blue anodising on the front forks of my 2004 1150 GSA
.
Just a small touch with a wire wheel but it will bug me.
Does anyone have recommendations for re-touching the blue ??
I thought about dark blue 'Smoothrite' but its a lighter blue than I remember, maybe the 'Hammered Blue' is what I recall.
Thoughts please.
And yes, I'm a clumsy idiot

I'll respond to my own question . . . 
I bought a small bottle of "BMW 381 Le Mans Blue" touch-up paint; one of those little things that has a brush attached to the inside of the cap.
Its quite a good match and being a dark blue metallic paint shouldn't look out of place.
Once its all dry I'll buff it up and re-fit the forks
Must be more careful in the future.

Good tip Bob. Maybe a before and after pic when you’ve done it ?
