Anyone know a good nail polish for the Grizl 6 Earl Grey for covering up small damages?

Should just but a new bike.

Yeah it’s totaled

I've managed to get a very visible chip on the toptube just after the first ride. I would like to paint it over with some colored nail polish.

After you touch up, get Ride Wrap. I've done nearly 4000km on my Grizl and not a single stone chip.

Use an automotive touch up paint that includes paint and primer in 1. They're made to last - nail polish is not formulated to last very long

Try to find the HEX/RGB colour code - and compare that with what you can find online. Note that the bike itself is a combination of paint + gloss, meaning you'd need to look for something with a high-gloss characteristic.

Go hardware store’s paint section, take several color sample cards that look right, then go drugstore’s nail polish section and get your color. Touch up, let it cure, then ride wrap.

Try Toyota Lunar Rock (6X3) seems to be a close match… I would try a test spot on the bottom bracket or something first.

Thanks! I will try

Did it work? I have a scratch on my canyon Earl Grey as well. I might not even fix it though.

I have not been able to find it in my country yet. So I don't know.

Use vynil of the same colour. If you paint it you will lose the warranty.

Stop looking at the chips and scratches. They go away
Gives the bike character. Also reminds you to be more careful next time.
