Touching up composite

My apologies if this has been discussed before. Anyone have luck touching up small nicks in composite? With paint or pen or any other substance. Thx.

If the material is altered there’s nothing you can do. It’s not like steel where you can sand or even weld the nick. Composites are non repairable to my knowledge

You can see on the crown. I would probably aim to just touch it up. Was thinking auto paint?

When you say composite can you specify which material this is? Is this carbotech?

Modern composite materials are usually reinforced epoxy. So if it is carbon fiber reinforced epoxy you might try just epoxy, color matched, since it is such a small nick.

I guess Panerai will just replace the crown?
