Default fairing repair

Does anyone know of a place I can send my right side fairing to to get a chip in the paint repaired? There's a small chip in mine about the size of a pea and I want to get it fixed. I tried doing a color rite touch up but I could still notice it. Anyone know a place and/or how much it would cost? There's no damage to the plastic...it just needs to be touched up and clear coated I think.

Chris

You could fill it in with touch up paint (which you tried & didn't like), which is the cheapest route

OR

You could either get it airbrushed to make it look decent (like they do on used cars). They'll just fix the one spot, but it won't be smooth/perfect.

OR

Spend a lot of money to have it repainted. They just won't redo the one spot...they'll do the whole fairing.

OR

Buy a whole new fairing.



Just fill it in with some touch up paint because who's to say you won't drop it again....u know???

Unless you're trying to sell the bike (and saying it's never been down) or something...I'd just leave it (and I'm a perfectionist!)
It's gonna take more abuse from riding it anyways....nothing stays perfect unless you don't use it.

I didn't drop the bike...something hanging on the wall in the garage dropped on it thanks to my dad. Made me very angry.

Thanks for the feedback. If anyone knows a cheap way I can get this back to perfection then let me know...if not I'll just leave it alone.
