I have a few very small nicks in the black exterior trim on my 2013. Generic gloss black a good match for paint?

It's a good match for black paint!

I recommend getting a higher quality spray paint from an auto store as opposed to the $1 a can stuff from WallyWorld.

My Sonata has sat in the sun for 10 years so I've gotten quite skilled at touch up of this sort.

For small scratches, wouldn't one of the touch up pens be okay?

Most likely - and if the scratches are small enough, one of the "scratch out" polishing compounds might work.

One day, a kid drove a skate board into the side of my car, and it looked like new after polishing with scratch remover.
