Touch-Up Paint
Okay folks, my google-fu isn't so great today and since we are a pretty exclusive 'black' thread group, what are you folks using for touch up paints for those small scratches you have? I had a very small scratch when the dealer transported my truck from another source and I let that one go for a bit, but recently as careful as I can be, ****** happens and I made 1" scratch that took out the paint down to the metal 
It's not wide and more so looks like a line drawn with a .5 mechanical pencil w/o the lead. I know lots of folks here baby theirs and would love to know your favorite make/brand of touch up paint and I will greatly appreciate your time responding to such trivial question

I use Meguiar's Scratch X 2.0 before hand to smooth out the scratch a little, then put on the black Color Magic.
I off-road my truck a lot so constantly get scratches all along both sides of the truck, and this stuff does a pretty good job of making it look better.
If yours is super-deep, then yeah, maybe you need actual paint, but just figured I'd offer up an alternative...

I have used a website called PaintScratch.com. I purchased a touch up kit but haven't actually used it. So they don't call it Shadow Black on the website, but I think it matches.

I had a very thin scratch also along the side of the passenger door.A friend who owns a detailing company used the fine point of a lacquer pen like the ones you get with paint touch ups from the dealer. Carefully trace the scratch and leave it for at least 3 days. Went back and he buffed it to blend in with paint. Can hardly see it on my shadow black truck.
