What kind of touch up paint do I use for the engine compartment?

Where can I get paint for the engine compartment? I did a header install and there are a few scratches I'd like to fix. Is the paint a medium gloss? My car a 97 TA and is black.

I believe the paint in the engine bay is base coat only without clear...that's why it's not full gloss...

Closest thing I could get readily that would match is Satin Black

Lawman is right. Car color without the clearcoat.
