    Does anyone have any tips on touching up a powdercoated frame. My
    Wilder frame needs some touching up to cover the bare aluminum.

    One tip, from my friend, Scott Wallis was to dab a brush in some laquer
    thinner and then into the powder and then cover the spot.

    So, that's one tip. Any others?

    Thanks

    that's actually a pretty common and pretty good way of touching up
    slightly chipped/scratched paint on unis and bikes and such. also
    automotive touch up paint works well too. not sure exactly how to touch
    up powder coating though.

    I say you just leave it how it is, and let it get scratched and stuff,
    that gives your unicycle more personality. ( :

    With a steel frame, I wouldn't mind so much. But the Wilder/Lyte rider
    frame is aluminum and I was told that aluminum can weaken from exposure
    to the atmosphere.

    So, I would like to minimize that exposure by covering up the gashes.

    thanks for the responses so far.

    Hmmmm, maybe mix fingernail polish with the powder. Gotta test that.
