New owner quick question
Hey everyone!
I recently bought my first HD motorcycle. A 2002 Sportster 1200xlc.
Loving it so far, but it does have this scrape on the front fender.
This came from the previous owner.
Im looking for the best way to cover it up. It doesn't have to be perfect because it's already in a spot where It's not too visible.
Check it out in the picture, and let me know what you guys think.

Personally I would probably remove the fender, knock out the ding. Sand an paint a color that I preferred (tank also). Don't be afraid to take some sand paper and rattle cans to it. Worse case scenario is that you don't like it and your trying a new color scheme. It can change the whole way your bike looks.
The previous owner of my bike painted it black

Then drew over it with a Sharpie

Stripped it off

Then rattle canned it again in a Colorshift.

But I have no idea if you want to match what you have.

I like the color that It has already, Im just looking to cover the area with a similar white. Its in the back part of the front fender so its already no too noticeable. I just wanna cover it up a bit

I've seen guys put a narrow or small black stripe from vinyl sticker rolls. It's a temp solution if you're low on cash. But the ding MIGHT still be noticeable after...
Check it out,

Thanks for all the help guys.
I think what I may just go is find a nice classic HD decal and out it over it. I could care less about the dent.
I wanna do some cool things to this bike. So what I have now is temporary.
