best way to fill this chip on my frame

Post by formula400 »

this is from3/4 weeks ago when I had my incident, the top tube has a nice chip in it, can I paint/fill it, it has gone right through to the bear frame, I don't want it to rust or anything. Canyon were not helpful, and a few people have said nail polish :wtf:

cheers

Yup nail polish, it shouldn't rust, I think most Canyon frames are alloy

Do Canyon not sell touch up paint in frame specific shades ? You could mail and ask for the RAL code ?
