What kind of paint?

I have black motegi track lights. I was backing up out of dark driveway the other night and scratched my back right wheel pretty bad. About half the wheel was affected and you can see silver instead of black. I was wondering if there was a special kind of black paint that I would need? I mean I have no idea what kind of paint to use. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

I went to auto zone just now. They sold me some kind of powder coat black stuff. I am going to hold off and see if there is anything better to use.

Try fingernail polish. I've used it with great results on my Jeep wheels when they got scratched up.
