I've been using car touch up paint for years, works a treat. Especially on a metallic frame

straight to the point.. no annoying intro and no 10 min video. Thank you!

Pro tip, a lot of paints tend to dry with a lighter color than you initially mixed, so don't try to get it perfect when mixing, you can make it a tiny bit darker

The real pro tip when purchasing a MTB is to choose an aluminum frame, painted silver, every chip goes un-seen 🤙🚀

sand it with a block or you'll end up being able to feel a depression there where your sanding is 'finger shaped' good repair!! need to do loads on my levo but.. its rocket red !

Also, clear nail polish is a very good way to fill in those cracks!

Prior to fill...sand first, then fill, then sand again 👍

Amazing video. I’m lazy, usually just slap a sticker on it 😂

Trek bikes have touch up paints you can buy directly from them that are perfect match

I think every chip tells a story and it’s nice to have a bike with some scars, but to each their own.

A but over the top bit totally worth it

pro tip: it will happen again, it doesn't really matter, it's a mountain bike

[randycallow]

If it's a mountain bike and it's used correctly, . you will be doing touch up painting multiple times per months.. part of the thing about off road riding

[TheJackoelliott]

You've never mixed filler in your life 😵‍💫

I'd just end up using the touch up paint I found. $2 nail polish from Walmart, perfect match to my Stunpjumper's Sage Green.

Wet sanding even with paper not designed for it gives a great finish, just dip the paper in water often and sand normally, a MUCH smoother finish, i go to 2500 grit before finishing with cut and polish, most paintwork has a clear coat which is the UV stable element, i highly recommend finish with clear then sand to 2500 in steps 240 480 800 1200 1500 2000 2500 , a sheet of sand paper is cheap and i save them for other jobs .

My local paint supplier will mix a perfectly matched touchup pot of paint for £6.
