Anybody know where I can get hold of touch up paint suitable for bike frames?

What I need is a touch-up pen or very small pot (eg.25ml)

I'm after RAL 5014 Pigeon Blue, but haven't found any supplier that will have anything to do with tins under 5 litres!

Cheers

where have you tried already?

if you only want a touch up you will be wanting "acrylic" also known as "1k" paint.

This is available from most paint supplying auto-factor type shops, most will mix you up a RAL colour and normally supply a "touch up", a spray can or anything from 1/4 of a ltr to 5ltrs.

If you get stuck, email me as i work in a bodyshop and could source some for you from my supplier

pinches

I've tried Technical Paint Services. They do a minimum of half a litre for a minimum of £20!

Key Industrial Equipment do touch up pens in RAL colours, but not RAL 5014, it seems.

Auto-Paint I think do them, but the website seems borked.

Most of the others seem to deal in industrial quantities.

Thanks for the help.

Hi All,

You must be after this paint for a Singular Swift. I had the same issue. UK supplier Paints4U.com came up trumps. I emailed them and got immediate assistance. On thier web site, go to the car paints section, choose the type of paint package you want (I got the 30ml touch up with the clear lacquer at £9.99). In the vehicle manufacturer drop down menu, select RAL, then 5014 in the code. It will come us as Tauben Blau which is German for Pigeon Blue. It is a perfect match for the Singular Swift frames.

Regards
