Anyone know of any specialist in or around Glasgow area that’ll touch up/repair a frame? Alternatively anyone know where I can get Wicklow Green Santa Cruz touch up paint? Seems SC paints are pretty hard to come by! Cheers.

If it's carbon then Andrew Wilson at Magnafibre (Falkirk) is your man.

Santa Cruz uk / jungle do touch up pens for most colours. If they don’t have one you can order parts from the US (although that gets really expensive)

Eddie Johnstone (out Falkirk way again), is forever putting up really nicely finished bike paint jobs on his Facebook pages. Not heard or seen a bad word about him. Awesome wee rider as well, but don't tell him I said that.

Great thanks. Yes it’s carbon but the damage is only to the paint work caused by shifter of another bike not securely fastened on an uplift trailer! Can’t get the Wicklow Green from anywhere in the UK so hoping one of these guys can match the colour.

There is no way Eddie Johnstone is wee!

Very sound bloke though. As is Andrew Wilson / Magnafibre.

It’s a bike. The scars are character.

...but affect the fabled resale value!

Agree about Andrew and Eddie, but very good. Suspect Andrew is better for carbon as he does proper carbon repairs so is well versed with the material.
