    Chipped paint

    Anybody know where I can get it fixed? It's on the fairing right behind the front tire. (Lousy Colorado roads and their rocks)

    I don't always test my code, but when I do, I do it in production.

    I'd probably just buy some ColorRite touch-up.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Re: Chipped paint

    Will I be able to do that myself and have it look original?

    Re: Chipped paint

    I guess it depends on how bad the chip is, and how much finesse you have with the paintbrush.

    But in a high-impact area like that, I wouldn't stress it too much. Getting it to look and stay "original" is a futile effort.

    For what it's worth, ColorRite does make the OEM paints for all the big brands though, so you'll definitely have a 100% color match.
