Cheapo way: Buy a tin of lacquer and apply a few layers yourself

 

Expensive way: Go for a re-spray

I dunno........ He's still quite busy with his bike........... He putting back all the electrical wiring......... Spark plug not firing.

 

BTW if it's just a small scratch, dun use paint. use compound rub.......... easier. DUn hav to actually redo the whole paint work.

 

[seven7sin]

Did the spray pain affect ur bike paint? Cos from wat I know the normal spray cannot mix with auto paint. It'll spoil the whole paint job.....

Compound rub is a form of paint. U just need to rub over the scratches to cover it. It works by filling the lost paint. U can check out with hardware shops........

Take note I personally never try on dents....... Only scratches.

2 ten cents coin chip is big........... If let's say for cars, u gotta spray the whole part for the colour to be even......... Or else u shouldn't even waste the time and effort to spray paint.......

 

My friend did it to his bike cos he customised it and he have yet to finish his bike probably take another one or 2 weeks. I asked him liao, he's putting the bike back into one piece. Don't have the time for other stuff and he does not wish to do any spray paint anytime soon cos he got enough on his hands.

He doesn't have a workshop. He borrowed the gf's place temporarily.........

Sorry.
