A few small scratches on fork.
No decal involved. Not a painted or clear coat area........just the usual dark gray carbon.
Scratches are white or light gray = took off dark gray color layer.

Searched but did not find anything that matched.

Just want to cover & match carbon color

Thanks in advance

Matching the surface of unpainted carbon is pretty hard what with the fiberous nature of the material. Like matching wood grain. First the question of how deep are the scratches? Most every carbon frame has some sort of top coat to protect from UV as well as heighten the marketability. Are the scratches deeper then the top coat? Sounds like some are. You say grey color layer is gone. You also use the word "repair" to me this suggests some actual structural damage, as in the scratches are very deep. The typical surface coat scratches are often covered/sealed with common enamel paint (or finger nail polish). These paints can be simply mixed to match but with sometimes frustrating results (color match wise). Is the OEM top coat a clear showing the fiber through it (only looking grey because that's the under laying color)? Or is the top coat a color to it's self? Many questions that a few photos could start to answer. Andy.

Thanks for the response.
Photo - will answer many of the questions......the shiny black around scratches is from shoe polish used in a temporary knee jerk attempt
to keep covered which did not work well on scratches but did add shine to dull matte original finish. Plan to tape for the short term protection.

Repair was just a generic word - just trying to "fix" scratches to protect carbon & hide the damage....best case would make it undetectable.

Clear coat - don't think there is one unless very neutral.....most clear coats leave a shine or gloss. the dark gray carbon just looks matte to me.
I think the top coat is color to itself,

Scratches are past the top coat (gray matte) as described earlier & seen in the photo.

a very shallow Gouge would probably be a more accurate description of each area.

Added 2 more shots to show undamaged matte carbon......camera flash adds some sheen........

mix up epoxy paint it on like a touch up , dont sweat the appearance , or just the 2nd part. dont sweat it .

The first photo looks like impact gauges. Not too deep and likely only cosmetic. fb's suggestion to fill the spots with epoxy is a good one. There are some pigmented ones out there. Try to limit the filler to only the gauge, minimal overlap onto the undamaged surface.

I've been told by the nation's leading carbon repair service that there's nothing that will damage the carbon that you can find in your local hardware store and that the concerns of carbon failure from exposure are over rated WRT how modern carbon bikes from quality manufactures are made and used. Having said that any attempt to limit future exposure is a good thing, just less critical then some claim. Andy.

Thanks to you both for replies and suggestions/fixes.
The damage was done by a bus bike carrier's security arm which I did not realize had its padding worn off on the end + i put the arm too close to the frame.

Thanks Again!!!
