Caring for a new steel bike

[Popoki_Nui]

So how does one repair them properly? I've got many a scratch covered with clear nail polish. Bike Friday actually send me the powder coat (in powder form) and some nail polish to repair the chipping paint on my frame (search under Bike Friday and you'll find pictures of the chipping paint...)

Just curious, as I'm relatively new to steel bikes (but loving them...)

I do essentially the same thing except I use primer and matching colour coat. I'll patch these little scratches until I have several, then I will sand, prime, and respray the entire tube or stay, and blend it into the rest of the frame until it looks like the original paint.
I hate having lots of bumpy little repaired scratches, but I'm probably more fanatical about nice paint than most people are.
