Whilst cleaning the bike this afternoon, I found a small hole in the paintwork on the tank: about 1mm diameter. I think I have two options: 1) find and buy a proper touch up stick 2) by some black nail varnish and touch it in. 3) [1] go to McGanns and see if they sell any suitable touch up pots that are cheaper than option 1. Which should I go for? [1] okay, I lied -- John (jsp) SV 650 Black it is And Naked
4) some of the black colourmagic polish that comes with a little wax stick for filling in just such imperfections. -- Alex Hermes: "We can't afford that! Especially not Zoidberg!" Zoidberg: "They took away my credit cards!" www.drzoidberg.co.uk www.sffh.co.uk www.ebayfaq.co.uk

How much is touch-up stick? Apply 2 or 3 coats, then some laquer, let cure and leave for 2 weeks... Nib off with 1500 grit, T-cut and wax... Chances are that only you will ever notice the slight blemish... If the hole is down to metal, T-cut first to get rid of any oxidisation... Good luck... -- O 1 Black, shortly to undergo extensive surgery. 1 Red, undergoing lightweight surgery. ----- 1 Blue, for Power-Ranger baiting. | o | Numbers ... | o | Stuff ... | ooo | Life ... -----
Owen did scribe: A touch up stick is £15, by the time postage is factored in. Whilst not a lot in the grand scheme of things, this is quite expensive for a 1mm round chip in the paint. This is why I was considering some cheaper alternatives. It also strikes me that I have some black smoothrite in the cellar: does anyone know of any reason I shouldn't use this? We are literally only talking of a very small whole in the paint. ok, thanks. Ta. -- John (jsp) SV 650 Black it is And Naked
