Finish Touch-up Question

I have an H&K pistol that has a small piece broken from the front sight. It's not the business part of the sight but what I call one of the two wings to each side. You guys probably know the correct term. I want to color it black as it's aluminum and really sticks out from the otherwise black finish. I don't want to refinish the whole barrel - just touch-up the bare aluminum. Any suggestions?

Thanks guys.

  Tape it maybe and then "stove black" it.

  Thanks from me too Forge, I've been looking for a product like that forever, no just to find it somewhere locally.
