Proud new owner (2 weeks) of the new Sam Hilborne (blue). 60cm double top tube, I am in love. I've dinged the secondary top tube already though- anybody have any hints on touch up paint?

Ya know, that's something about the under-tube I hadn't thought about...it's a whole 'nother tube to scratch!

yeah ... clear polish is great. I prefer it to touch up paint because it always looks really "touched up" .. and I mean that in a doesn't look so good kinda way !
the clear I don't really even notice , but it still protects the steel and you get the virgin "birth mark" ! None other like it !!!!!!!

Cloth handlebar tape always does the trick for me. Just wrap it a handful of times then twine it somehow. Mr. Sean Hipkin did that with his dented top tube. Looks fancy serves a purpose. Kinda.

That new Sam Blue color is beautiful?
It looks great with the cream accents.I'd just use clear polish on it and know that the dings make it "mine".I think even a slight mismatched paint color would make it look bad. Just use clear and keep that beautiful blue the way it was intended.
