Metal filler

I have some small areas of corrosion on an anodised aluminium shower surround frame. I think these have been caused by soap/bathroom cleaner getting trapped under a section of sealing strip. I have cleaned them out and they are similar to stone chips on a car. I want to fill these will something that will blend in reasonably with the surrounding trim. I was considering an epoxy metal filler or perhaps even a silver car touch up paint but would be interested in any other suggestions. Thanks

I think you'll struggle to find a filler to match, is it on the dry side or the wet side? I think you'd need to paint it to match it.
 
It's on the top edge, external to one of the glass panels so dry side. Yes, I was gravitating towards paint. Had a look at car touch ups in Halfords and there are a couple of candidates for a good match. It will be easier to do with the glass out so a good chance to clean around the glass seals as well. Thanks.
