Ok, I was a DA over the weekend.&nbsp\\; Seemed I was not paying attention and brake/mirror assembly fell off and dinged my tank.&nbsp\\; I have 4 small paint chips (above the pinstrip) on the right side of the tank.&nbsp\\; They are smaller then the eraser head on a pencil.&nbsp\\;
I was away from the bike and I heard the clunk.&nbsp\\; My heart dropped and I sat down in remorse for an hour.&nbsp\\; Ok, I'm an idiot, I can accept that.&nbsp\\; Alright, it's over now, how about the repair.
The local HD dealer has the touch up paint (pewter pearl 08 Roadglide).
Anyone experience this bonehead move and how effective was the touchup paint?&nbsp\\; Any methods or tricks to try and fix this?
&nbsp\\;
Thanks

 

i know it's kinda late .but always put something over your painted parts.

 

i think they do sell touch up at the dealer. never had any real good results .
but if you take your time and build it up and fine sand then clear may be presentable
good luck

 

if the dealer dosnt have your paint try color rite .com i bought all my paint
&nbsp\\;
products from them i painted my inner fairing it came out great-ride safe

 

touch it up till its higher than the sourrounding good paint....

 

then lightly&nbsp\\;wet sand the touch up area with 1400gt&nbsp\\;till nice and smooth and even with the sourrounding paint....

 

ok,,,won't let me post the rest[:@]

 

then get a fine rubbing compund

 

like a polishing compound and buff the hell out of the area by hand....

 

no one will ever know, done it several times and looks great!
