Totallygutted, went out for a 40 mile ride came back rode into the drive and tried to unclip..

Yes one of those moments, shouted "oh sugar" at the top of my voice and went over onto a small wall and did this damage.

Bike was mint condition up until now.

Is it just a case of wet and dry then using a closely match paint or is there some type of filler available for carbon?

max depth of the scratches is maybe 1mm

thanks

There are lots of repairs on utube but if it was mine i would either just paint scratches or leave it as is.

It's a scratch. If you have a gloss top coat, then t-cut or similar. If not, then wet and dry. If the scratches still show, a matt or gloss black paint will do fine, depending upon finish.

Carbon is strong stuff.

Yes sand the scratches flat then re-paint. Or take the bike to a paint genius like Neil at Atlantic Boulevard in Bury and be astonished at his skill in repairing the damage.
