Nylon coating

[Welderpaul]

Anyone had any experience of touching-up/making good nylon coating to handrails?

I know its a pig to repair because you loose the thickness of the coating. Mixture of scratches, tears and bubbling.

All damage caused by someone else but we have been asked to repair it at their cost. I know companies like the 'Plastic Surgeon' can patch most stuff, but not sure about this type of coating.

Anyone any ideas?

Cant you get the company who did the coating initially to sort it out for you....?

Their advice is to spray a colour match aerosol into the cap, let it thicken then touch up with an artists brush, repeating as ness to build up the thickness. Three different places all say the same.
Not sure tho - the jobs not gonna look right. Wondered if anyone else had experience of this.
