Touching-Up Cold Paint... Help. - General Tiki

I have several mugs that need a touch up job. However, I would rather not do "anything" to them unless I know can do a true professional looking restoration. What kind of paint works best? Does the piece need to be refired in order to accomplish a professional look? I've done some experimenting in the past with acrylic paint. I could get the color to match exactly but the gloss level was always off. And, what material do you use to "fill" the paint chipped areas so that all surfaces are level before applying the cold paint? Maybe some of the true pros wouldn't mind revealing some secrets? Holden? Stuckie? Anyone? Thanks! ModMana :drink:
