don't know about metallic blue but i have fixed small chips in black and white bikes with touch up sticks for cars from halfords. a bit like a lipstick but much harder wax type stuff. also have used coloured turtle wax car polish to keep overall colour sharp...

[/quote][quote]If the chip is near the seat tube depending on the position you may be able to cover it with a small name sticker?


Some good motherly advice there Andrew.

If your bike ever ends up in lost property it'll be easily identifiable as yours, and there'll be no mistaking your bike for someone else's after the cafe stop.
Brilliant why hasn't someone thought of this earlier??!!! :D

Well, I never did.

Turns out Cannondale do touch-up pots, with applicator to boot. Eight quid a pot.

Huge relief all round.
