Scratched paint work

Woodsman · 2017-01-25T18:43:47+00:00

Hi, is anyone aware of a way of touching up metalic paint over carbon? Took my Canyon out of the shed this afternoon to discover a 3" scratch that had magically appeared overnight.....it's not particularly deep but it's right on the top of the top tube, very visible. Do those car touch up pens work?

It’s a surface scratch so

It’s a surface scratch so hopefully the rubbbing compound will do the trick. Thanks for the advice.

Do those car touch up pens
Do those car touch up pens work? – No.
Has the scratch gone right through to carbon or just the lacquer? If it’s just shallow and not deep enough for a finger nail to snag in try some cutting polish like farclas g3. You will have to wax /polish the area afterwards.
