Touch-up paint.

[ajb]

As title really, My carbon frame has a couple of paint chips, not down to the carbon but just looks untidy.
Thought about the Humbrol enamel (for plastic models)
What paint do you use for doing it ???

Thanks.

I've used car touch-up paints. You can get a kit with undercoat, paint and lacquer for about a tenner or less at Halfords. They are good for some things - though a bit expensive.

I've sometimes fond a car touch up pen that it a good colour match, but TBH unless you really know what you are about the resulting "repair" ends up visible from Mars where as the original paint chip may be hardly noticeable.

I now take the attitude that the only way to keep a bike in showroom condition is to leave it in the showroom. Pro riders bikes are full of paint chips.

nail varnish seems to work pretty well.
