Paint Touch Up

smoothrideronli · 04-02-2008, 08:53 PM

I bought some compound to smooth out some scratches that I had on my fairing...after closer inspection it seems like the scratches and nicks have broken through the paint and cant be compounded out. Can I get a can of glossy spray paint or some paint from Honda to spray over the fairing and blend it in or will that look tacky? Also for when I pick up my 08 I want to get that clear protective plastic that you put on to protect the paint. Does anyone have a link to where I can get that stuff?

Yes scratches can be filled with touchup paint. It must be applied and sanded and polished. If done correctly you can barely tell the difference. But doing it right takes practice.
