Matte black touch up?

Hello folks,

I don't have much experience with wheel repairs - I have a matte black face wheel that has a slight nick, it's a welded on 2 piece and my friend mentioned he cannot fix it without being able to take off the face since he would respray the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions on temporary fixes, I'm aware it won't perfectly match but as long as it's not visible from too far I'll be content for now. I looked into matte touch up pens but appreciate suggestions.

Also, is it worth going to professional shops assuming that it is welded on and a bit difficult to spray?

Hello Kerune. Pictures of what you are talking about would really help. I have touched up flat black painted wheels before. Flat black blends perfectly.
