Default Chips in my new vid black paint

I added the new quick detachable tour pack kit to my ultra limited 2014 and the kit didn't come with something to tie up my plug and play wiring so now I have chips and scratches in my vid black paint. I have already tried to use some compound stuff to buff it out however it's to deep. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do or try

You could just get a bottle of touchup from the dealer BUT dont use the brush.Use something small like a tooth pick to distribute the paint.
Ive got an 04 FLHT and i just use a fine point black permanent marker...Works pretty damn good.

Thanks for the information. My co worker just told me I should try a touch up paint pen from auto zone

I'd go with the Harley touch up paint to make sure it matches. BIG +1 on the toothpick! I used the brush that came with the bottle of paint on my Fat Boy and it just made it worse.

I'll call them tomorrow and see how much they want for it. I wonder y they include a brush and not just make it a pen
