I don't know how, but something hit my fender and left a chip in the paint. It feels like it's from the inside. I looked into a new fender - ugh, $600+ for a replacement. My bike is a solid 25 footer, so that price isn't worth it to me. I found that @AdvanBlack sells paint pens. For $20 I figured it was worth a try. I did a shitty job of brushing it on, but the match is pretty good and it preserves my 25 footer status. If you need touch up paint, check them out.

if youre ever in the market for a Front Fender keep us in mind. We use Made in the USA fenders as well as paint them right here in the USA. No Chinese stuff for us.

For sure, thank you. I came very close to buying one from you but that sweet Klockwerks Level would have made the rest of my bike look like ****. Well, it already does but at least it all matches.
Some of the same professional pinstripe "artists" also do airbrush work. A good talented airbrush retoucher can often do perfect repair. I've seen automobile airbrush retouchers too......usually not very expensive IF you drive to their location instead of them coming to you for such a small job.
Check with a local PDR ( Professional Dent Repair ) guy ... It appears as though it was a stone pitched from the tire ?? They might be able to offer advice ... Then maybe a bit of art work or touch up paint ( Matte finishes can be difficult ) ... Good Luck

Just a thought for the future.

Thanks guys. This thing is a rider and there are rock and sand dings all over it, but that little chip annoyed me. It doesn't stand out as much now and I can live with it.
For mastery, you could take something else that's chipped and practice on it. The old toothpick is a darned hard tool to beat when it comes to dropping paint in a chip and moving it around only in that chip. That said, I still often manage to screw it up.
