Acrylic or Enamel for touching up statue?

I bent my Wolverine Sideshow comiquette claw and after heating it up to straighten a fleck of paint lifted. I'm going to repaint it but don't know which to use between Enamel and Acrylic? I've no idea what Sideshow use.

This is probably a really stupid question but i've never attempted something like this before and it's a very small fleck to get professionally done.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have any painting experience at all? If you do I would say just go with whatever you are most comfortable with. If not maybe just go to a hobby store and look at every type of silver paint they have and find the best match. Pictures also help a lot with problems like this.

Tamiya Chrome Silver is a nice silver and pretty bright. With one stroke with a paint brush it can go over evenly. Could do all the claws in that color to match them all. Just a idea.

Thanks for the advice. I've no experience with paint so i'll pop along to my local model shop and pick up a selection.
