Does anybody know or have experience getting some chips repaired and painted on a carbon fiber frame? There is an especially nasty one inside the chainring on the drive side chainstay, as well as a few cosmetic ones on the seatstays. Any help would be gladly appreciated, along with some contact info and potential prices.
Thanks,
tommy
