Default Black Denim touchup paint?

I have a Softail Slim in black denim and there is a small area on the rear fender where the finish is rubbed off a bit. Can anyone recommend some black denim touch up paint in a spray can that would be a match?

I love that paint but rubbing it will make it shine. My right knee used to touch a spot on the lower part and that's how I found that out. Still, beautiful paint.

Unless you paint the whole piece, denim is almost impossible to match. Don't ask how I know this,,,, lol

YMMV, but when I get a little nick on my denim Sportster, I take a Sharpie to it. I don't slop it on, just a dot or two to cover the spot. Look away and then look back and you can't see it.
