On my R1 the black chassis behind the rear suspension spring has spots of colour taken away from stones or whatever. Aside from a pain of a spray job, has anyone touched up something like this?
Baring in mind where it is, it doesn't need to be as perfect as a tank or fairing job. ____________________ Current: '07 Suzuki SV1000 & '07 Honda SH300i (again).

Depends on how perfect you want it to be. If they are just a few small individual chips, and the paint is just basic satin black then it's easy enough. Give the area a good clean and dab some paint on.
I've sprayed paint into an old plastic container out of a generic rattle can and dobbed it on with a matchstick or the corner of a bit of kitchen roll before.
If it's not just basic black then places like https://www.rsbikepaint.com/ sell specific colours.
If the area looks more like its been sandblasted from stuff flung off the rear wheel then it will need a different approach. Got a pic of it? ____________________ stinkwheel: He had an animated .gif of a cat performing fellatio. It's not socially acceptable. It can have real life adverse effects on other people. |
