Default Headlight housing

To make a long story short, someone used paint thinner on my headlight housing (the matte gray exterior part) and removed the gray finish in a few spots. What is a good color and product to match that finish?

Thanks for any help.

matte gray exterior part...(?) you mean the part that is covered by the hood?

Yep, the part that the hood basically covers. Problem is the paint that was removed is right on the edge and the light from the headlight shines out of the area where the matte gray paint was removed.

The pic included isn't my headlight, but shows the spot where the paint was removed.
