You can try using Plasti-dip spray on it to hide the damage or get a new one but that puppy is toast.

I wouldn't do anything about it. If I did, I'd Ebay a leg and R&R it.

It's a Ninja 500; right?

I assume both legs are in a similar condition? Remove the wheel and fender, rub down with suitable abrasives and paint with a suitable black multi-surface paint from a local DIY shop.

I plasti dipped mine. Came out great. Just a tip, don't be stingy with the stuff. Give em 6-7 coats. Lay it on thick! Is more durable that way imo.
