Shock Horror!

Warmin up the Monster today, looked down at the tank and it is chipped! B*gger! Largish chip exposing some metal and a bit of (undercoat?). Anyone got any top tips for dealing with this. I feel I have to do something quick but have no money

Sympathy welcomed.

The dulux paint pots are about 85 p but the halfords one anything up to a fiver. I tried to get one to touch up the trellis frame but me thinks its going to need a stripdown respray.

For chipsin the paint try some one like ChipsAway - mobile paint repairing company. Seen the results on numerous cars - generally excellent quality.

I was at Cobb & Jagger (Ducati Leeds) the other day and they had some little touch up pots which were Ducati colours although they weren't made/branded by Ducati. I would give you their phone number but I cant get to their web site at the mo'

Happy decorating
