No idea how I got a chip in such a random location but one has appeared. Don’t even remember seeing it the other day.

Should I just try and get some colour match and cover up best as possible or is there something else I should be looking at. Carbon has a strange round mark in the middle Hoping photos show what I mean:

Wouldn't worry me.

Nail varnish, enjoy.

Yep as above, I wouldn't worry about that at all.

Cheers all. Will just get some touch up on there at some point. I have the Pantone code so just need to find a decent place that mixes up Pantone colours!

Trek used to sell it but seems out of stock now.

There's a bloke on mtbr.com.called Mitch who works for Trek, he may know some way to get it locally

Tis but a scratch! Well, a paint chip actually. Clear nail varnish or colour touch-up paint
