Touch up will make it look better, but it'll still be noticeable because it looks like the paint is chipped. Isn't that under your seat anyway?

Bummer. That looks pretty severe. Gonna need that repainted probably. Can I inquire how the damage happened? If it makes you feel any better. I smashed the fairing on my brand new 08 Road Glide on a pole in the garage. It only had 250 mikes on it. Bad things happen sometimes. Sorry for the damage.

Looks like there are some other scratches besides those three chips. Those would probably buff out, but like someone said, get a two up seat or a fender bib. Sorry, man, I know that sucks. I'm pretty "****" about my bike too, and that would drive me crazy until I fixed it. Good luck.

Trying to put the stock seat on. Looking at that nice open beautifully painted fender was my favorite part of the whole bike.

I had some damage like that, and I tried my best to blend it to no avail. Finally ended up having it re-painted. If you don't do it right, it'll kill ya.
