Bike Scratch and Chip Repair in Dublin

shgavman

Anyone have any recommendations for someone to do some patch repair on a couple of chips and scratches on a road bike (Chip on the front fork and rear triangle). Looking for someone in Dublin.

I lent it to a friend last weekend and it looks like it got damaged on the bike rack - there was a second bike put on afterwards. My guess is the forks and triangle were in contact with those of the other bike and were vibrating against one another.

i hope your friend made a good recovery.

You could paint over them with clear nail varnish, if you're concerned about corrosion. You might be able to find a matching nail varnish and paint it very thinly until the chips are no longer conspicuous, but finding a seamless match seems unlikely to me.

Enamel model paint might work either. Hobby stores have that, I think.

getting it repaired professionally would probably cost way in excess of the actual damage to the paint. if your mate said he's willing to pay though...
