Thanks for the suggestion. No chain here in VT but perhaps a local hobby store might be worth checking out. Michael On Wednesday, February 5, 2014 7:59:11 PM UTC-5, dougP wrote: > > Michael: > > This topic comes up once in a while. I've had good luck at the hobby > store. Huge color selectio

Michael: This topic comes up once in a while. I've had good luck at the hobby store. Huge color selection, small bottles and not expensive. Somewhere on cyclofiend's website I think there is some info on paint color matches. dougP On Wednesday, February 5, 2014 2:40:04 PM UTC-8, Tom Virgi

Michael, I try to get more than one nail polish bottle with hues on either side of what is to be matched. Mixing them and applying to a test piece off the bike can help get close. A blow dryer can speed up getting to the final result. I have found an air brush shoots nail polish pretty well
