A little help. Who has had positive experience correcting paint chips? My girlfriend's new Specialized Allez managed to land itself a nice, highly visible chip (about 3/8" diameter, on the top tube, and clear "to the bone," so to speak). No idea how it happened.
Anyways, this is a thick, high-gloss paint job, and like I said, the chip penetrates clean to the aluminum. I don't have any reservations about dabbing a matching high-gloss nail polish or model paint on the spot; since there's such a depth to the chip, however, I was wondering if anyone had a great technique for doing this cleanly.
It's her first serious bike and she was kind of pampering it, so she's a little devastated. Any tips?
