I recommend you look up some automotive factory touch-up paint companies and ask them what they recommend these days.  The last touch up painting I did was about 10 years ago using an air brush.  Air brushes are inexpensive relative to the cost of paint these days.  (Aliexpress probably sells them too.)

I am going to go with Humbrol Enamel Paints for model painting. Will get a few little pots and try to mix up the colour I need. Shouldn't cost more than £10 total, excluding clear coat.

Did you manage to get anywhere with that project?
