macknife Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Is there such a thing? Basically, my full face helmet fell off my seat and a 5mm chip of paint came off at the lower front of the chin guard area. It's annoying me to say the least as it's a new helmet and quite noticeable. (Being on the bright red part of the helmet) Anyway, what to do? I'm thinking either some auto touch up stick or even some ladies nail varnish. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurwait Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 No. There has been a crackdown on helmet touch ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILLIGAD Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'd take it to an auto spray shop (without wearing the nail varnish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macknife Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Where in Bangkok has a good selection of auto paint touch up pens/sticks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Fortunately must of my scratches have been in dark areas, so I just use a black sharpie (ink) to touch up the scratches. Sent from my SM-T211 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overandout Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Arai used to do touch up paint, not sure if they still do. Not heard anything about a "crack down". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) nail paint and polish is the way:)I was going to mention that as well. Does fade after awhile from the elements, but hey, they have hundreds of color hues to pick from.

macknife Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 There's a guy in MBK I believe that does paint jobs on helmets, though I forget which floor. I'll try him first, it's just a small touch up job, but I figure he'll do a better job than me. If not I'll head down the markets and try to find an auto paint or nail varnish that best matches the paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher328 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Paint can seriously degrade polycarbonate helmets. Should be ok with a blob on the chinpiece though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
