-A frame paint for 2019 25 Serenity

We had to have our '19 serviced for leaks and other issues.

When I got it back, the "service number" was "taped" to the A frame near the hitch and they didn't remove it when it was returned. I gently removed the service number but even with care it removed some of the paint....

I'm like seriously? Looks like the prep of the paint to the frame is not great.

So it is developing surface rust, I will abate the rust but need to repaint the small areas. I would like to avoid a spray and rather brush it, but can do either.

Question is, what is the "correct" paint I should use to match what is already there.....it looks like black but unclear if it's a flat, matte......doesn't seem like gloss.

I see a lot of touchup threads, but I dont' think they match my issue since the term grey is being used and I don't see any greyish tone.

I'd rather not have to go through AS since it's time & cost. But if that is really the only way, then I will if that is the only answer to make it right.

Can anyone comment?

At some point a few years ago, AS switched from Grey to Black "to make it easier for owners". I have not seen a lot of variation in black spray or touch-up paints. I do not know the sheen, though. If I had to guess I would guess gloss; gloss does clean more easily.
