Posted by: Pierre Isabelle on 08 March 2002

Is there any good way to hide chipped paint on modern Naim casings?

I found a matt black touch up paint from Halfords which does a good job of the edges and such like as long as you don't over do it.

You could use black marker. The trick is to fill in the chip without going over the unchipped part of the box. If you do that, you'll see the touch-up. If you stay inside the chipped section it's pretty much invisible.

Thanks for the tip, but could you possibly find the brand name and colour number?


Frank:

I am a nice man, and thanks to the fact my rocker cover gasket on me car as gone south I will need to visit Halfords again ( alas I lost the bottle I had some time ago)

Garyi,

Besides the new gasket,a number of garages also supplement this with the "instant gasket" type stuff (just to be sure)

chris, cheers for that, the 'proper' one was 2 and half quid, not worth worrying about. although I rather hope this is the problem!!

I couoldn't find the exact bottle I used to have for the colour, its all changed, but I don't think its worth getting to anal over, just buy a bottle of black matt touch up paint, the one with the brush in the top, touch up only the scratch and no one wil be the wiser
