Repairing Ss Celtic Bio

[MalikoRahl]

Hi all. I got a SS Celtic recently. Shortly after, a small incident occurred and the bio struck something that chipped the top of the bio. It isn't a large area, but I'd like to fix it. Some type of material may be needed to fill it in--putty, maybe? Then I'll need to paint it to match. Any ideas on color and materials to use? Thanks.

Do you have a picture you can show us? There is a product called Apoxie Sculpt that works perfectly. The hard part will be trying to find the right color paint to match the existing color. If you can show us a pic that would help us help you better

Hope these help.

The damage is minor, I know, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

Oh that's minor! I would use any type of putty to fill it in and then just paint over it with matching paint...no one will ever know it was damaged.

I would clarify J's comment by stating Epoxy Putty. I'm thinking wood putty would chip right out
I've personally found that J-B Weld KwikPlastic Adhesive Putty is great for small fills like the one you have. The Rectorseal Epoxy Putty in the irrigation section tends to be difficult for areas that small, from my experience.

Thanks for the tips. Any idea what the paint color's name might be? I'm sure there's dozens of shades of "metallic silver."
