I’m looking for some clear coat touch up paint for a carbon fiber frame. Removing a sticker from the frame removed some of the clear coat as well. Any recommendations, include where to buy?

Is it down to nude carbon?

If not, some gentle, careful work with an auto paint scratch remover (made by several companies, usually found near the car waxes) may buff it out nicely.

I would think that you would need to check with the frame manufacturer to determine what clearcoat that you could use and the procedure for prepping and applying.

Clear fingernail polish may be a good option.

I usually use the clear lacquer stick supplied in mercerdez benz paint sticks, the clear is sold with each color/ it is thick and works perfect even for deep nicks.
if brushed on thick in one swipe it will dry smooth and glossy and then polish it with some auto polish but very fine like Duz -All I have done this on $10K bikes and it is undetectable. for deep defects apply a coat a day till built up then the above..............If you need more email me.

Fingernail polish - you should be able to get that most places
