so i've taken off the old centre pull hanger from the rear of my frame.

has anyone used a laquer to cover the little spots of bare metal where it joined the main tube?

I want to keep the original metallic brown paint and just protect the metal.

Any ideas?

go to a car main dealer and ask for the touch up sticks, it's a tube of paint the size of a fat marker pen with a little brush inside, as its from a main dealer it will be expensive...ie about a tenner, though the paint (is good quality) will be a good match if you look hard enough..otherwise something the equivalent of halfords...spray a little onto a saucer and paint it in.

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.
