Is it possible to "touch up" a powder coated frame that has suffered one or two minor knocks during a build?
If so, what do you recommend? If it makes any difference the powder coating is Candy Red, and was done by SBD.
Thanks

I know Dan can blend stuff in so that you wouldnt notice. A bit of messing about though i think and I doubt its worth you stripping the bike and posting out.

Thank you to both Munners and Meticus
The problem isn't so bad that I need/ want to strip down, send off and re-build.
Obviously, would like the "repair" to be as near invisible as possible - was thinking about nail varnish?

It can work, I use nail varnish to touch in minor marks and chips on my Ribble road bike which is bright pick and purple!!!! You can tell close up though :(.

Thanks Marty
They're nothing really - most people probably wouldn't them, but I know they're there....................
Might give the nail varnish a try - feel a bit silly going into Boots and getting it though.............
