I hate to admit that sometimes I can be really overthetop OCD, but I can. Before I started looking I was curious if anyone had ever matched any of the ProVari colors with a locally available paint. I have the smallest scrape on my Cherry Red and it has been bugging me ever so slightly...
Touchup Paint for Colored ProVaris

Since it's Cerakote, I don't know if touch up is feasible. I think it's sprayed and maybe baked, too...
But it WOULD be good to have - people would probably even pay for a little touch up kit if ProVape figured out a way to offer color-matched air-dry dab-on paint.

I WISH! I can totally relate. I would absolutely buy a touch up paint kit if it ever existed.
But, like Train2 said, I'm pretty sure it's a spray paint followed by a bake and therefore impossible

I'm sure that it's baked on, etc. But, like automotive touch-up paint, it only has to match in color, not in overall durability...which would be unlikely to match without using the original process. In my case it's the tiniest scrape at the edge of one of the teardrops on the handle area. It could be easily covered with a matching color.
I did mention I can be OCD, right?

Hello Everyone,
Yes cerekote is sprayed and baked on. There is a air dry cerekote but its a pain to work with.
Let me discuss it with the gang to see if we can offer touch ups. I do cerekote as well, so I'm sure something can be worked out.

It would be great if Provape offered touchups for the paint!!
I suggest getting clear wraps from Jwraps to protect the finish. I have all of mine wrapped and don't have to worry about getting scratches and dings for the most part....

That's why I got rid of all my colored Provaris, they are developed small marks no matter have carful I was... Satin Stainless is the only way to go IMO

You know you could have mentioned that before!

I like yourself am very OCD about my mods finish. I cant tell you how many times I have commented on the cerekote coating.... Its better then paint but not all that durable as it is made out to be... ZenKote is a much better option.....
Your only option is to do what I did...sell that scratched Provari. I sold 3 of them before I came to my senses and bought the Satin Stainless...It is their most durable finish.. And forget about the Polished Provari...Not only is a fingerprint magnet, but it will show every micro scratch the minute you start to handle it...
