say i have a bike that i have used for a while, and has some scratching and scrapes. where could i get some of the exact paints used on it, and how could i get someone to properly apply it?
specialized Enduro SL Expert, 2008, anodized green color. (a paint job like this deserves to be maintained)
also, about 4-5 square centimeters are off. (mostly scratches). how much do you think it would cost?
I AM NOT DOING THIS MYSELF. i would never trust myself for this. it is an amazing paint job, i dont want to change it, just touch up some of the rubs.
 
After mixing colors to match, fingernail polish works amazingly well as bicycle touch up paint. A touch up I did five years ago on my son's Bianchi is still holding up. Since though you have a reluctance to try it yourself, your only real option is to take it to a professional painter, preferably one who deals with bicycle frames, and see what they can do for you.
