I was just wondering the best way to touch up a scratched frame, I recently had my '06 rocky fusion put into the trunk of a car with another bike (not my idea) and when i took it out later on at night I noticed 3 fairly large scratches on my frame. 2 of them are pretty large but theres one that looks like someone keyed my bike with a good amount of force, when I rub my finger over it I can feel the roughness.
How could I get this fixed so its not noticeable??
Thanks.
Colour matched nail polish.

[font=Comic Sans MS]I found some carbon fibre look,decal its made for cars and comes in a roll of about a 450x1000cm,its black on silver but if you rub it with thiners it takes off the black paint.My frame being silver,the sticker cut to fit is hardlly noticable.[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]Now if only i had had the forsight to put the sticker on before the scratch occurd.🙂 [/font]

NOOOOOOOO
the nail polish will melt the paint...looks like [censored]
try rubbing compound to remove the scratch, then a primer and automotive paint

Look like [censored]? Maybe the female kind should start to use automotive paint on their nails? Your partner must use some nasty nail polishes! :p
Maybe the manufacturer of the frame sells little bottles of touch-up paint or can direct you to a supplier.
