Glad I haven't had to face this problem yet but it's probably only a matter of time....if you ride 'em you are eventually going to chip/scratch them. What's the story on touching up ti bikes? I had a lbs guy claim that NOTHING will stick to ti, no paint on the planet was what he said. He said that was why bike builders used tape pin stripes to "end" the paint on ti frames.. Any truth to this or is touching up ti pretty much like touching up alum or steel? While I'm at it, if you ARE touching up ti, what do you use?

I use my wife's clear coat nail polish over chips.
