I am having trouble finding recommendations for touch-up paint. Would
appreciate group knowledge!

It's always hard to match exactly, but check the local drugstore for nail polish or maybe a hobby store for model paint. I always find that to be too much trouble, so I take it the other way and touch up with some contrasting color. Enhanced beausage.

Targets have a massive selection of nail polish colors. Pull the fork and take it with you to compare.

Or, just roll your bike in over to the polish, it's usually just past the registers... might get a look or two, I suppose, but, hey... :)

Nail polish: Sally Hansen Hi-Def 4070-04 is best match I have found.

I used this on mine.
It's not as beautiful as the original paint, but the color matches
very well.

My kids thought it was hysterical that Daddy was buying nail polish.

The trick is to go to Target with your daughter; pick the one you want; then have her pull it. ;-)

That made me laugh. I'd get more enjoyment out of brazening it out,
though. "What? You've never seen a man wearing knickers, splats and a
lobster bib buy green nail polish? What kind of town is this?"
