chipped paint on carbon frame
my bike has got a small chip in the paint, and unfortunately its a white bike so the black carbon shows up real nice underneath. i think i read somewhere that naked carbon is prone to UV damage, so is that spot going to get damaged if its exposed to the sun? it looks to be purely cosmetic so far, just missing the white paint.

Nah; no need to worry about UV. If it makes you feel any better, use nail polish to cover it up. Use pink if you want to be unique...

Is this a question? I had a similar issue and used white nail polish to touch it up adequately

I've filled chips with two-part epoxy and shaped it flush, then painted it. It's usually almost unnoticeable.

I also chipped my carbon frame, it has 3 lines on the side and a massive scratch around the bottom bracket. Oh well. Function over Fashion :)
