Default Touch up paint recommendations?

Today i was going over a speed bump and traffic forced me to take it mor straight on than I would have liked. I have a black 03 Z06 that is lowered almost to the ground on stock bolts. Ended up scraping the passenger side skirt up pretty bad (still pretty sick about it) Does anyone have any recommendations for touch up paint that can hide this kind of damage? It's mainly underneath but from a distance you can slightly see the scrapes underneath the rear brake vent. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
