@HarmanMogul I have also heard of nail varnish being used for touching up chips. Either that or enamel paint. I may just have a go at touching up chips around more obscure areas like under the BB.
@Dogtemple I might as well give that a go. Would T-Cut or Autoglym Super Resin Polish not do the same as the Brillo pad? T-Cut and AutoGlym do contain abrasives which would remove the scuff layer of paint, same as the wire wool. But i'm not sure how much difference there would be.
What I am trying to avoid is working on a scuff and then leaving the paint patchy. The whole frame does not need the work, just some very minor areas that annoy me.
@midlife thanks for the tip. Would you be able to share any images of a touch up you have done with a cocktail stick? I may also give this a try.
