Touch up paint
Hey does anybody know of a place where i can get touch up paint for my 99 900rr. I assuming the dealer has it, so im gonna call them tomorow to see. I had an ufortunate accident while being an idiot and riding in the neighbor hood today. I just got the bike two days ago, and the auto tags place wasnt open ,so i have to wait to monday to get the tags for it. Well being impatient and stupid i took it for a quick ride in the section where i live, it had stopped raining about an hour earlier so i was a littel damp. well long story short i gave her a little too much throttel, I know i know , i got stupid for a second. Well anyway the rear kicked out, and i went sideways, i corrected and ended up going down on the other side. WEll someone saw and called the cops, i was only going slow so i had no injury just a scrape on the hand, a bruised ego, and a hurt pride. The frame slider did its job, saved the fairings for the most part but there is a littel scuff in the white paint, color rite, doesnt sell the white. I ordered new sliders, they are extended , made out of aluminum and have replacedable delrin caps. I will replace them when they come and fix the scuffs. It really hurts to have done this to such a perfect bike, there wasnt a mark or scratch on it, and now she has a scar. The original owner had her for 9 years ,never laid her down, and in 9,000 miles she led a perfect life, i get her for 2 fuggin days and lay her down.[X(] im feeling pretty bad rite about now
I assume you're talking about the white on the tail.... I bought some testors paint from a hobby shop that matched really well. If you're trying to cover more than just a little scratch you should consider buying a new piece since it sounds like you have a pretty nice bike. New tails are only $150 each side so that would be money well spent on a nice machine in my opinion.
well its not the tail its the side fairing on the bottom, below the frame slider. It really sucks, the bike was so goddam mint and perfect. I think i can touch it up and no one will ever no it except me. If it doesnt meet my requirements after touch up,then i will definately buy a new fairing.
