I've made a few basic upgrades on my new red triban 3. I'm picking up my new vittoria rubinos on Monday, so next week I'm going to review the stuff I have bought so far.
Anyways, while fitting my new charge spoon saddle, I dropped a bolt and chipped the red paint. It felt like a punch in the stomach. I was wondering if anyone has ever touched up the red paint work. And if so what they used?
I need to do something as it's quite a noticable chip.

Bought the toolbox red stick a few days ago after the chain decided to take a nice juicy chunk of paint out of my chainstay. I wasn't that impressed with it. The colour is a good match but I couldn't get the pen to work at all and the brush leaves quite a lumpy finish.

Very easy to put small amounts of paint exactly where you want it. And don't try to fill the scratch or chip all in one go - layer it up slowly.

Just boughts some for Β£1.99. Thanks for the link. It's on the opposite side to the chain. I went to halfords today but they didn't have tool box red. I'll find something though:)
