Title: best black paint for frame?
Post by: Speedy1959 on Thursday, 24 May 2018, 06:42 PM
Can you suggest the best black paint to touch up the odd scrape and stone chip to the frame (Black) please..

I have a small tin of Black enamel model makers paint..
I wondered if that would be suitable (or not)?

Smooth hammerite does a good job and when cured is as ard as Fu*&.

I think Piano black is as near a match as you will get - got some here is you need any - its a basecoat so needs a bit of lacquer

I just picked up a "standard" black touch-up paint at Halfords Simon - perfect match (they have these standard colours along the top shelf by the spray paints usually)
