Today after my ride I found a piece of paint chipped off from my rite chain stay. It’s not really big or anything and in a hard to spot please, just behind the chain rings. I have no Idea how a rock could have gotten there, but what can you do. My question is: Does anyone know of a product that I can use to cover it up?

question is, how much work are you willing to do?

If I had that problem, (1)I'de remove my Crank Arm..

(2)I'll remove the adjacent paint with a 1000grit sandpaper..

(3)The apply/spray primer, 1 coat only..

(4)then sand with grit 1500 sandpaper..

(5)Then 3-5 coats paint.

(6)Then sandpaper again..

(optional)Then clear coat..


The first 3 steps will take about 30 mins..
wait period is about 1-3hrs depending on the paint..
step 4 will take about 10-20 mins...

step5:spraying will only take about 1-3seconds, and waits between coats between 30mins-3hrs.. (depending on the paint)

before performing step 6, wait for about 5-24hrs.. then go about the sanding..
