Mornin.ish yoall......While doing her weekly detail Hoodababe pointed out a deep tiny stone chip in the front guard...now she has shown me I cant help but see it and its pissing me off...Is there a good way to touch it up and have it look ok myself or do you think it should be fixed proffesionally by whoever does that sort of work??Its right to the metal so gotta do sumtin just dont know what yet....I know the collective wisdom here will point me in the right direction....

Thanx everyone..Hoody

as a minimum, you could always nail polish it.

a paint shoppe could dab a bit of base then clear on it and get most of it out depending on how bad it is.

Thanx mate..as it is I can see metal throught it so pretty bad.....Black nail polish??have to see one of my daughters (the emo one} for that me tinks....

ROFLMAO......ta mate...I thought i left that dangerously open....

I got the authentic touch up paint (it comes with a bottle of clear as well) and I just put a dob on it and it looked great ! "THEN" I thought I could make it better so I started building it up and THEN I had a lump so THEN I picked out the lump and touched it up again. So what have I learned ?? Touch your paintwork up BEFORE you drink bourbon. P.S. If the chip is down to the metal put a dob of acrylic undercoat on it first,but I've just adopted Scotty's attitude now.

Nothin,if your painting a house! I once painted a Suzuki TS 185 with house paint accidently, then I filled it up with petrol and spilled it on the tank and it all ran off. Ya get that.

Thanx yoall....think i will go with the harley touch up if it comes with clear and  drinking bourban before wont be a problem cause i drink vodka.....

I used touchup pen on my last bike, made the scratch stand out like dogs balls.
I did the scratch when I swung my leg over the back as I was about to sit down on the single Lepera seat. The exposed rear mudguard was too close to the steel cap boots that had a bit of grit, right in the wrong place. Always becareful when you throw a leg...!!!!

Mighty fine idea there kymbo....sounds perfect thanx...

The cutting polish wont work on the clear once it is on,thats why I picked it out.

4o bucks for a tiny bottle of vivid black from the stealer......oh well plenty of scope for more character....

I'm starting to care less and thats a relief, all this concern about stone chips and stuff was starting to get me down anyway. The more I play with it (the bike) the worse it gets anyway.
