messed up paint, how to seal it?
Hi, tonight I was going over my bike and I noticed that my front brake was kind of loose- so I went to tighten the allen screw/bolt on the backside of the fork that secures the front brake.. and I guess I cranked it too tightly and it screwed up the paint back there.
I would like to know the best way to seal this? I'm thinking some waterproof epoxy?
Here is a picture for clarification.
Thanks for any help!

Scrape off the loose stuff and get matching touch up paint at an auto parts store.
