Remedy needed for a deep scratch

[cuberider]

I've picked up a 2" scratch on my down tube. Paint was my first thought, but its a really strange colour - it looks black. but has a dark green tinge to it and Charge don't provide paint for their bikes.

Any ideas? ..... its a Charge Faucet Plus.

Is the scratch down to the alloy ... any pictures !

 

[cuberider]

Yes its down to the shiny stuff. No pics at the moment

Um ... stickers or if its bothering you .... frame repairs (Atlantic boulevard) for advice

I like the idea of stickers. The bike is too new to paint - maybe when its older and more scratched.

gaffer tape or for a deep scratch you will need deep pockets if you goto a shop to get it done lol

i would say either stickers like @tissot says of depending on position you might be able to cover it with a frame bag giving you somewhere to store your phone lol

I'm looking at the stickers option

Bit of nail varnish, comes in so many colours.

+1 on the nail varnish. I had a rare Schwinn color on my Passage, now departed this bike shed, and finally found that one color of one brand matched exactly.

If you take it to a paint supplier they have colour swatches in books that could be matched and then mixed up for you
