Touching Up With Nail Varnish.
« on: March 06, 2013, 03:59 PM »
Has anybody done this? ???

I have a set of black Tech 3s and some pedals that need a bit of a touch up due to minor scratches. If I'm honest, they aren't noticeable enough, but it's bothering me enough to ask the question, and I can't be bothered with the expense or messing about getting them reworked. ::)

I have done it with my Candy Red Performer.
When I got it the wheel nut had scratched the down tube and torn the decal.
A quick touch up with Boots' finest add another decal and hey presto.


However,  I did look a cnut walking round the Liskeard branch of Boots with a set of Performer handlebars trying to colour match them :crazy2:
Who wants to ride with Eddie Fiola?

Unbelievably, none of the orange paint on that was harmed, not even a chip. However, the EZ bars, proper DC Tech 3s and A'me's were ruined. :LolLolLolLol:

Even more unbelievable, is that 3 days before the StreetBeat went bouncing around 2 lanes of bypass, I was taking my DP with newly rechromed ladder bars, now that would have made me cry. ;)

Used to use nail varnish to repair chips on my stage guitar. Mahogany sunbust les paul. Seemed to be easiest to get the right shades of dark brown. Leave it a week or so and it t-cuts lovely  :daumenhoch:

Would deffo consider using it on brakes etc, especially to tidy up a daily rider.  :)
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.
