covering up scratches

Post by chicken_strangler »

was just trying to find out if anybody has any advice on how to conceal scratches to fairing?
the bike is black and tomorrow i will be pealing off the stickers and giving the fairing a cut and polish (it should buff out :? )

is there any other products/something that could help?..........besides spray paint :D
Peace......Means havin a bigger stick then the other guy.

yes! like my zx2r, touch up paint, but with a brush :D

No, a good sand back and a repaint, OR you could try bog, but unsure abotu that and your better off just sanding and painting

All depends on how deep the scratches are. Give it a buff and if no good strategically placed KSRC stickers will do the trick :kuda:

1) tell the GF to keep her nails trimmed.
2) use the non-stick dressings.

Sealer and glaze will conceal minor scratches, but only minor ones.
Mothers or Meguires both make a good sealer and glaze and both are available from your local Autobarn.
