Default Chip in new carbon fiber frame
Hey I have a new OCR C2 that I chipped the coating on the top tube with a bike rack. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to repair the blemish? It is purely cosmetic but I hate to leave it.

Assuming you think it is just a paint chip, why not just get some touch up paint for that color from Giant or the place you bought the bike?

If that isn't possible, go to a hobby shop and get a matching color - or like me, buy two or three and mix a couple to get as close as possible.

Agreed, nail polish for clear coat repairs, or some automotive clear coat touch up paint
