Touch up paint
Anyone know where to find touch up paint that matches with bike frames? I have a few chips on my fork And top tube that look awful. Does cdale make anything like this?
Also does anyone else use any kind of cover up for cosmetics?

I remember when I actually cared about dings on my bike and went to the store for nail polish. I spent probably an hour trying to figure out which was the exact red to match my bike. My then girlfriend (now my wife) was super pissed with me. It took her all of 5 minutes to finish her nail polish shopping.
When I got home, it was pretty close, but not perfect. Now, I don't really care.

Its so easy to get the exact match and the paint is cheap. The industry has a standard - PPG. Either ask the manufacturer the code or find it yourself. The paint books are online or take your bike to a body shop and ask to see their paint sample book. You can order the paint online
