Touching up my frame!

[bernieUK]

I need my frame touched up. Not my body frame but my beloved Bob Jackson single speed frame. It has had a few knocks and the once lovely black paintwork has a few chips/scrapes that have gone right down to the metal.

I know that chips and scrapes like this are to be expected but can anyone please advise on the best way to touch those areas up? The best description I could give of the paintwork is black gloss/shiny.

Hammerite smooth - doesn't need priming. But if brushing on - I'd dilute first, it's a bit thick.
If not shiny enough you can always go over with clear laquer after.

Japlac enamel gives a high gloss finish from a brush and is easy to apply.

Is the colour anything like this?

I had to touch it up recently due to a dropped chain tacking a lump out and was recommended Humbrol black gloss enamel by the guy who built it. Worked perfectly.

Thanks. It only usually comes out when it's sunny. I'm normally on my Carrera Subway for 'mucking about' and commuting.

Many technical drawing sets have a ‘bow pen’, (on left in pic' below) very useful for filling in a paint/enamel chip
