Default Removed sticker, paint underneath not the same shade?

I removed a sticker that the previous owner put on my bike. The shade of paint where the sticker was and the rest of the fairing do not match. Is there anyway to correct this? Thank you.

Put another sticker over it. Done.


Seriously, clean it to remove any waxes or chemicals and apply whatever you use to the entire fairing. That's about the best you can do to blend it a little. Then just give the sun and air some time to work on it.

Sun fade on exposed paint. Demon's recommendation is good, you're limited in what you can do in terms of a quick and easy fix.

There is no fix, all you can do is mask it.

It'll fade eventually and be closer to the same color.

+1 not a thing, this is why you must blend paint when your car is involved in an accident. Even though your vehicle may only be a few hears old the sun is brutal and any new paint must be blended into the old to cover the difference.

Sorry bro
