Not a Respray Touch up and one Decal / Sticker

[robsmith]

Hi, does anyone know a place that is able to touch a 1997 Kona Lava Dome, Green and P2 forks, I want to keep the original paint work, would just like it touch up in places, images to follow, thanks

Adding to this, OR gone full circle, if anyone can recommend, and full respray and add decals after, thanks again

I've been thinking about the same thing. I have an otherwise pristine frame with a nasty paint chip on the top tube. Been thinking about contacting local car detailers, who are experts at repairing small stone chips and other minor cosmetic issues. Probably cheap too.

Most places if they’d take work that small would just want to paint the whole fork.

Nail varnish is a good bet if you can get something close, using a proper small brush and applying in layers.

If you can get a paint match I’ve used a Loew Cornell paint pen for very small chips as well. You can put a tiny dot on at a time in the chip and build it up. You put a small amount of your chosen paint in the tiny thimble and it comes out a dot at a time from the nib, that’s covered by the red cap in the photo. The nib is small enough to fit inside the circumference of most chips. It’s not an invisible finish but can be really good.
