Basicly ive got a couple of scuffs on my 636, parts of wich are through to the plastic. (sounds worse than it is tbh)
To me, some touch up, and some T-cut, buffing or whatever looks like it would do the job, however, im no expert.

Im basicly looking for any one that knows what there doing, or a company that can do it for me.
If any bcf'ers are good with this sort of thing, ill give you some pennys of course.

its the Titanium colour, so its a matt metallic type.


cheers, Steve.

Have a look in your Yellow Pages or local paper for a mobile car bumper/body repairer. These guys come to your home and will repair it there and then. There generally reasonably priced too. Im sure they could do something with a fairing Thumbs Up

Where do you live barrow in furness? ...

Hmm if you are willing to travel Alan Dagg in Accrington / Haslingdon (about 20 miles north of Bolton/Bury) is an excellent plastics restorer and painter...his welding is cheap and he sands it back smooth for you too which is nice...

His painting is also very nicely done too , he puts multiple thin layers down and sands them down smooth and laquers them to finish... he is fairly expensive though , in that for comparative purposes a full side panel for a CBR600F in 3 separate colours was £90 (but that did include 3 areas that needed plastic welding).

Autopaint international Bolton for that , he goes out to your bike with a bazillion colour tabs and spends 10 minutes matching it exactly.

He did this for my car when my sister put a huge gash down the side.
