Guys: Someone posted that model paint (maybe Testors?) has a match for the Atlantis color. Kevin's prep sounds good & follow up with a little model airplane paint should get it at least to "she'll do" (if you know any Aussies!). Heck, I wouldn't get excited about the finish in that area; it's just going to get beat up again. I've got similar damage & I've never been near 3 degrees F in my life, let alone on a bike! Gotta fix that some day.....

I'll post a Flickr photo showing how it turned out. You can sort of see the primer in this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28720...@n02/3054481627/ All I did was wet-sand the area w/ emory paper of progressively finer grits until it was moderately smooth, then masked the area off and sprayed it w/ multiple, thin coats of rattle-can primer. Go for it. I was really hesitant at first. But now that I've done it...no problem! It's an easy fix. I probably should've painted over it, but I wanted to go for a ride. Contact me if you have any questions. I can send you other photos directly, too.
