How to apply touch-up paint to your Ribble bike

Keep your Ribble looking its best with a quick touch-up. Follow these simple steps to repair chips or scratches and protect your frame.

1. Clean the Area

Start by washing the affected area with warm soapy water.
Dry it with a clean microfibre cloth and make sure it’s completely free from dust, grease, or dirt before applying paint.

2. Apply the Touch-Up Paint

Use a fine brush for accuracy.
Apply a thin layer of paint directly to the chip or scratch, keeping within the damaged area.
Allow it to dry fully, then repeat with thin layers until the colour builds up evenly.
Applying in stages helps avoid drips and keeps the finish smooth.

3. Add the Clear Coat

Once the paint is fully dry, apply a light layer of clear coat using a clean brush.
This adds protection and restores a glossy finish.
Keep your strokes light and even to prevent runs or bubbles.

4. Let It Dry and Cure

Allow the lacquer to dry completely before riding your bike.
Once cured, the repair will be protected and blend neatly with the rest of the frame.

Tip: Always test the paint on a hidden area first to check the colour match before applying it to the repair.
