I have an annoying matt clear coat raw carbon finish which I understand is a bit of a pain to match up.
I think I might have sealed up the scuffs with clear nail polish to protect it, might think about a DIY touch up when I next strip it down.
For now I do want to avoid the patchwork for an old frame like this and get it professionally done. Just for peace of mind. Plus hopefully they’ll spot if there are any potentially cracks in the frame too....
The damage could be filled with JB Weld, sanded then touched up and you wouldn't know it was there.
Maybe this is a truth of materials thing though @HoKe ;)
