Paint Touch Up?

The chain on my bike is whipping up when pedal hard and shift down and has chipped a nickel size chip of paint off. Should I leave it or try to touch it up with some kind of paint? If so what paint do you recommend?

Contact the manufacturer and see if they have touch-up-paint. Otherwise model paint, or nail polish.

Art stores such as Michaels have great selections of small bottles of enamels.

I like the nail polish idea. It comes in 20k colors, is cheap and tough and easy to find.

Depends on the color of your bike. They don't make many Titanium Grey nail polishes! I had luck going to the auto store and finding a Toyota or Honda color that was close enough (brush on bottle)!

Have you been in the nail polish department lately?

I've got one that's pretty close!

I've also got a blue that could pass for loctite. :D
