I don't have the statue, but from viewing video online I can tell you it's certainly not gloss black or semi-gloss. I would call it matte black or possibly satin black. Airbrush is certainly your best bet for a smooth and even coat, but there is masking involved if you are going that route. If you don't have an airbrush, black generally covers very well, so hand painting, especially an area of this shape and size, should be quite doable. If you have any experience with painting you should be able to lay down a fairly even coat with little difficulty. How serious is the issue? is it just a touch-up required?
