i've just put a nice scratch in my brand new arai

is there anywhere that can touch paint up? it's a george flag one and it's across one of the flag 'ripples'

I can only suggest T-Cut and then a wax polish. Takes a bit of work but it's surprising how you improve a scratch or two.

Sorry to hear about your helmet. If it's only a tiny scratch , persinally I wouldn't worry too much about it.

It's not a fashion show/beauty contest

Arai sell touch-up pens for their colours. I'm sure most bikeshops could get you one. A bit expensive when the scratch is over 3 or more colours.

Personally, I'd live with the scratch. Adds respec'!

As long as you use safety goggles you'll be okay
