Ok, so I scratched my front fender. How would I go about fixing it? I see paint from some color rite website. Sand it down and just apply the paint? Has anyone have any experience with repairing the plastics? The other panels I just bought new.

And what about painting some smooth panels to replace the foreman grills? How much paint would I need to repaint two smooth side panels and repairing a 2 inch by 1 inch scrap in the front fender.

Anyone have an idea?

To add to the question - I chipped a portion of my front fender - probably about a half inch vertical piece. It's not all that huge, but how does one go about making it look new again or am I looking at fender replacement?

Order the paint from color rite, pull the part and take it to a shop with the paint. The chipped fender will need to be replaced.

thanks buck, my problem being cheap is the cost for a 1/2 pint set is around $175. This is about the cost of a front fender in OEM parts. If a aerosol can works then its about half that price and maybe worth the effort on my part. I do have another gouge on the rear tail fairing also which I would like to fix. If it matters these scratches occurred from a unplanned contact with pavement at a blisteringly 3 mph so there is some depth to them.

I was wondering if anyone had done any repairs to the plastic and what they had used. I do have a cheap paint gun and a decent air compressor but have never used them for painting.

They kinda have us by the balls with the plastic on these sport bikes! Sucks.

One fender for riding (bugs and all) and another fender for show. Fuh SHO lol...
