Had 2 clashes with my doubles partner's Wilson Titanium frame racket (don't know the model name) and "tapped" her head with my racket one time. She is still surviving as we figure out how to work as a team.:D

Anyway, got some paint chips on my Carbonex 30ms as a result. So I applied some transparent nail polish on the chipped paint area. No expansion of the area of the chipped spot. The polich actually acted like a layer of lacquer over these high traffic spots on the frame. It is not easily visible. If you do a really good paint job, it will be smooth and barely noticeable as you glide your finger tip over those areas.

Just want to pass on this info if you care about preserving the paint job/racket frame like me.

To all gurus,
If this is a bad idea, please let me know. Thanks.

when i used to have a Cab 30 MS, there was a small chip on the side of the head where the silver colour was. So i took a silver sharpie and coloured it in :p lol, but nail polish sounds like a good idea too!

any drug store or supermarket has it.
try Sally Hansen brand if you have it. The cheapest one will do, forget about the calcium fortification etc.

about $2 US here.

Ask your mom, sisters, female friends (maybe cross dressers, drag queens)?

Dear Fun,
Smichz lives in China, they do not have same kind of store nor the drug store stock the item as we do here.
