Cosmetic damage?

[Inertia]

Hi guys, Im looking at a bike to buy which the shop is discounting due to cosmetic damage. I'd appreciate your opinions on it, ie is that just cosmetic? most is just scratching on the stickers but this one on the rear fork Im not sure about. Thanks for any help.

Aluminium steel or carbon?

Fine. Get some gloss black touch up from Halfords.

Black nail varnish coats better

As said, as long as its not badly dented, creased or cracked it will be fine.

I got £200 off my last bike because of a couple of chips. Car touch up paint and all sorted. Money off paid for pedals and a dropper post.

I found Humbrol works well.

It would depend on how much the discount was. Bike shops should be giving big discounts on all this years bikes soon, to make way for the 2017 bikes.
