FYI - Retouching paint
 
I've been looking for a matching red paint for touch-up for my Erba since I got it, and a few days ago I finally figured it out. As suggested by Karl at Klunk (http://www.klunkcycles.com), I got some Testors model paint. This sh*t matches PERFECTLY. As in, aside from it not being quite as smooth, you can't tell that it's been touched-up. Fantastic stuff, really, and durable too. I highly recommend it. A decent hobby/model shop should have a crapload of different colors. Worth a shot if you've had trouble matching paint to your frame.

Nail polish too...
Not real durable but you can always find a match !

Oddly enough, while I generally concur, I bought like 11 bottles of nail polish and couldn't match my bike's shade of red. Testors #1103 is dead on, though.
