Default Denim black scratches and scuffs

Hello folks

I have a Held fork mounted tool roll on the Fatbob, and under heavy breaking, it seems it`s just been touching the front mudguard, causing slight scuffing right in the middle .

Not sure if there is anything that can be done for it, bar a decal / sticker, or even some emblem or somit.

Suppose I`m asking is , has anyone repaired damage on denim paint before ?

Cheers Dudes, and Dudettes.

The denim paints are meant to wear like a pair of denim pants. Also, the denim clear coat does not dry to a shine but will turn glossy if polished. The only option to fix scratches and imperfections is to repaint the fender.

Harley Paint Code:
Black Denim - 98609 BYM

Harley Urethane Paint Activator:
Part Number 99825-02

Harley Denim Paint Clear Coat:
Denim Clear Topcoat - 98628 CLR

Also, I have been told that John Deere Blitz Black paint is a very close match to Harley Black Denim. Since the fender is not near any other painted part, so an exact match isn't that important, the Blitz Black might be the easier solution.

I realize this is an older thread but I thought I'd ask before I started a new thread. Do you spray any sort of clear over the Deere Blitz Black? I just used the rattle can to paint a fairing and fender. Thanks.
