Scratches on front fender, etc.
 

I have some chips and a few small scratches on the front fender. I was wondering what would be the best way to repair them? Same with on the tank, very tiny scratches. For the tank a good wax will cover them up temporarily but in either case I was wondering if there was something more permanent.

Thanks in advance!

If you have a black bike, then a shaprie can work wonders. :)

There's always factory paint or something from the automotive world that is very very close to it.

Personally, I like those little dings and scuffs. They become part of the character and story of the bike.

What's a shaprie? Is that a typo, or is it an American product that I've not heard of?

Sharpie. It's a permanent marker pen.

Under some conditions you might find that nail poish will do the trick. A gal pal may be handy to have as they tend to know more about applying nail polish.

Get a new one:

It's the "FENDER, FRONT".
:tup:

Yes I tried the Sharpie...maybe it was old because it didn't do anything. I'll try a new one.
A new fender, I'll live with the scratches lol....

Thank you,

For anyone who doesn't know, rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol will remove permanent marker.

it turns it purpleish

It is also good for removing those silly warning stickers.
