Help repair paint chip!!!!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Rob62:
you could probably achieve a similar result just building up the paint with a touch up brush and then carefully flatting back and re-polishing. I guess it all depends on how obsessed you are going to be over a very small blemish and how much money you are prepared to throw at it....  once done you'd probably have to point it out to anyone before they notice it themselves..

As a get you by there are some very good matches to be found at your local beauty store. I can often be found perusing the nail polish section,  it makes excellent touch up paint. But you will always see it.  ;)

This tip was passed on to me by Dream Machine as they told me a chip in my Candy red 175 would be impossible to repair and would require a repaint.

I was going to look through my collection of nail varnish touch up sticks but, I only have UK colour matches 😀😀

Thanks again.. I did think about the old nail polish truck however the bike is immaculate and I am building it to sell on as I’m more of a custom guy. We want to achieve a high end finish so think the only route is a full respray.

I have spoken with the original painter who also confirmed its a respray.. the decals are all hand painted and not stickers so it’s gonna set me back £500 to have the panels and tank all re done!

That was an expensive cock up! Still crying but at least I’ve stopped throwing up now!!

Sad times

I get some strange looks at the car boot sales sorting  through  nail polish.  ;D
