Hi all,

I've joined the forum to seek some advice.

I have a carbon fibre bicycle frame which has sustained some damage to the top tube, see attached pics.

I came across easy composites whilst searching for epoxy resin to fill in the chips but not having experience with these materials I would like some advice. 

My plan was to key the chipped area and fill with resin then touch up the paint so I would also like to know what my options are regarding the type of paint to use.

Thanks,
Mark
