What kind of paint would be best to use to touch up a marble headstone?

I need to touch up the white paint on my brother's African Black Marble headstone. It is the area where they engraved it, and painted it originally. Today is the 17th anniversary of his passing, he was 20, and I want it to look nice for my mom. Thanks.

    go to the hobby store and get ACRYLIC ENAMEL and an art brush.

    If it is marble or granite then find a marble workshop, they have special compounds to repair these and it is relatively easy to do. This is a very nice gesture by the way, your mother will be proud!

    If you want it to stay on longer, then use epoxy paint. It dries to a harder finish and is more durable than regular enamels. PS - You will need paint thinner or gas to clean a spill or mishap.
