Import and transport regs on flammable stuff like paint make it too expensive. Try a hobby shop, and take your bike with you!

Be prepared to never get a perfect match! :eek: (I've tried).

I would head over to an Auto parts store. Look for the touch up paint section. They'll have those little shaker bottles with that useless brush. I'm guessing they could have something close, but in reality, I have to admit metallic/sparkle, nuclear orange is probably not a common on-the-shelf color...

Thanks, bookmarked for future reference.

On a similar note, has anyone used the AMS frame protectors on their Trance E? I already have some scratches on my top tube and looking to do add them on my E+1.

My Diamondback 4C has a few of these (Bike Armor - Bike Frame Protectors) in strategic places, mainly where the tire tread and inner chain stay come close together. Still sticking, even wrapped around in some fairly tight angles. The BA items were a bit thicker and I felt that was better for the intended use...
