I raised the issue once before but here goes again. I would like to touch up the mast and boom in a few places where the paint has come off. I scraped off the loose paint and sanded the places but now I would like to use a good touch up paint. Whats the best approach w/o doing the entire mast and boom? Thamks very much.

ACE Hardware, theirs or Rustoleum spray can white.  Your choice of satin (blends in well, but not shiny) to gloss (may match existing or be too shiny).  Tape off areas being painted, lightly sand after dry, wax.

Then there's what Steve did:  http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,4832.0.html

The Rustoleum BBQ paint comes in gloss white and holds up quite well.  Try a bit for color match.
