Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum so hello to all.
I was hoping I could get some advice on my bike.
I have a Specialized Langster 2010 model (matte black), which is my commuting bike. I love it and have had a hell of a lot of fun on it over the years.
Anyway, due to my idiocy I've managed to wear away some of the beautiful matte black paint. About a 2x2cm patch which is worn down to the metal.
I’d really like to fix this, does anyone know the best way? The only ways I can think of are:
Fully new respray.
Use a matte black spray from Halfords to touch it up.
Another other suggestions or previous experiences?
Thank you all in advance.

Welcome, would love to help but it's been way too long since i did any sort of bike painting
in all honesty years gone by, i would pop to the local car body repair shop, ask them how much for a touch up job/respray normally not that toppy.
hopefully someone else will pop along with more insight soon..0 -
Ok, thanks.
I'm going to try my local bike shop and see how much they charge.0
