First boo boo

[Sandymay]

Must have been a stone chip. Any tips for fixing?

I used the touch up paints before and it did very well but I don't see your color on ebay or amazon. The closest I find is this... https://www.amazon.com/TouchUpDirect-Ve ... JD15DRRHP8

For all you pearl white riders this one is close enough for a nick or small scratch.

When you paint don't worry it looks thick as it dries flush to the surface. Then if you feel the need to put the clear coat it comes with. I didn't bother with the clear for my little stone strike.

Thanks Homie

Don't worry about it. It is a motorcycle. Chips prove that it is used.

Go ride it some more and have fun.

I laugh at the Harley guys who spend hours polishing their bikes. I ride mine.

Getting rear tire #5 tomorrow. Yahoo!!!

Sandymay, how did that red match? Did you try it?

[dgnyberg]

One thing I've found that works good for minor nicks and scratches is fingernail polish.
There are so many different colors, it is easy to find a very close match.
And, they are cheaper than "official" touch-up paints.
Use a fine artist paint brush and it comes out very nice.

Boo boos are common and easy to come by, so might want to get an adequate paint supply that is correct for your year and model.First resource would be your dealership but you can also contact these companies by phone or email and perhaps they can get some made for you as well . The paint code is most likely in the luggage or storage area under the seat on a sticker. I think its pearl red ??

Toothpick is good for small simple chips.

[Jge64]

Yup toothpick or artists brush, filling in the chip until it has a slight dome

Wait 30 days......this is critical

Hand rub with a polish, Meguires ultimate compound a good one

When it's flat, rewax or seal, done.....

I flat mine within a couple of days. Easier whilst the paint is soft?

[Jge64]

30 days , and spot will polish out better.

Another great trick is cut a mini spot of 220 grit paper the exact size of a new eraser on the end of a pencil, spot glue it on. Then after 30 days, use it in a circular fashion or in a drill and then you sand only the spot.

Ah. I don't sand, just use the cutting compound to flatten.

[Jge64]

Cutting stuff also gets more gloss after 30....

I am passing though Abbotsford bc. The sometimes murder capital of Canada. There is a bloody t-shirt behind my Forza. I am going to get some bullet hole stickers to cover my booboo's. I have been in the middle of a shoot out in this town. I moved.

I did think about decals to cover up any boo boos.....bullet holes would certainly lend a tough feel to my scooter.....lol

Hi, I was at the dealer and they do not have touch up paint , however, they told me to go to colorline.com. I don't think that is going to work after looking at the site.

I have the Honda PCX 150 2017 Dark Pearl Blue. Any suggestions where I can buy that? Thank you!
