Hi all, can anyone point me in the right direction to get some touch-up paint? Do you use airfix type model aircraft paint from model shops? I've written to the bike company but heard nothing back. I just want to get the chips covered for the rain.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers
Jon

I have used Humbrol enamel from Patrick's toy shop. It can be used with a Revel mini spray gun. The only problem is that the range is limited although quality is good. This means that you may need up to four tiny cans just to get the desired colour. Have considered using nail varnish from somewhere like Selfridges, but am too lazy to carry this idea further.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
