There has been times where I touched up a bike and used a polishing compound to blend it in. Its really easy to do blacks or whites because its not a blended color. It does take patience and skill to do it right , but I have save a classic or two by doing it this way. I would rather do the touch up then sand blast and powder coast because it loses its idenity. I am going to finish off one with clear coat to help protect from future chips. Its clear , gives a shine and a protective coat as well. Most classic cars have a clear coat or two.
