Touch up paint?

[EebStrider]

Does anyone know what the paint codes are for our bikes, and where we can get touch up paint?

 

[EebStrider]

Nobody?

I think the only thing you can do is get hold of a colour chart and match the RAL number to your bike

Has anyone managed to find any paint codes? My black paint is getting quite chipped.

Bumping this thread, as I've not had any luck. Has anyone managed to find any touch up paint, or have the paint codes so I can order online?

You may have tried this already. I went to Halfords and looked at the car paints that come in cans and/or the touch up kits.

I have a Focus Jam2 in blue and despite Focus being German, the paint is exactly the same as the Peugot Agean Blue metallic, see pic.

You never know, you might get lucky! I sure didn't expect to do so.

Good call. I’ve ordered some regular satin black mtb touch up paint, so will do a sample before applying. Quite why Cube won’t tell anyone their paint codes is a mystery. At least I can buy touch up paint for my new bike, direct from the manufacturer.

You have done your best, and if it isn't a perfect match, at worst, it will be better than not doing anything.
I just took a close up photo of my bike frame in good light (outside) and then compared the pic on my mobile to what was in the shop. Yes, I know shop lighting is not the same as daylight, but it wasn't as if I had two close matches to choose from! I was lucky, the one that looked very close in the shop, turned out to be perfect.
My bike is covered in touch ups. If only I was a better painter, nobody would be able to tell.

These bikes are designed to be ridden off road, so will get the odd chip and scratch here and there. I try not to look at them, as I like to look after my stuff, so touching them in will at least make them less obvious.

Hi,
Just Bumping this Thread as I recently found that CUBE have released Touch-Up Paint Pens and Charts for their 21, 22 and 23 year bikes HELP & FAQ - SUPPORT | CUBE Bikes

Unfortunately my bike is from 2019 (2019 Stereo Hybrid HPC 500 Action Team) and there doesn't seem to be a chart for MY19/MY20 bikes. 'Flash Grey' colour changed after MY20 to a metallic or matt finish. So I don't think I can use the new Touch-Up Paint Pens. I'm going to email Customer Support just to make sure.

Regards,

Cube do touch up kits that include clear coat. Cube dealer where is bought my bike got mine.

Blimey I'm glad this thread was bumped, that Focus/Peugeot blue looks really similar to my Haibike! I'll be off to Halfords and having a rummage for one of those pens, cheers!

BTW, when I contacted Haibike for a code/paint they weren't in the slightest bit interested either
