Small scratches HELP!!

Post by manueldg2001 »

good morning everyone ! :)
I am a neo-owner of a 125 2018 opaque black pcx. The other day, however, I touched the jar with a scooter and scratched slightly behind it. I wanted to ask you if you know a product that can eliminate these scratches or even a paint of the same code to cover them. Thank you
Sorry for my english but I'm italian :roll:

Ciao Manuel,
Benvenuto nei forum PCX.
By opaque black, you mean matte black? If so, no good news. That color cannot be polished.

I think that cold be the only option. I'd ask your honda dealer about touch-up paint to have the same color code.

Good morning and welcome aboard! Your English is fine, no worries :)
Sorry about your accidental scratch. Perhaps you have a favorite sticker to fit/suit the area?
If that's Not your choice of fixes, Honda's color code label can be found under the seat attached to the inner side of the luggage box.
Good luck

I'm pretty sure it does not work on matte surfaces. Well, it works in a way - the part done by T-cut will be shiny and not matte anymore. Potentially not a sought after result.

I love my scoot(s). I baby my scoot(s). But alas, there are scratches here and there. You can get all upset, or consider the little stuff patina. Stuff is going to happen.

Some big, honking ugly deep sort of scratch, well, maybe I'd consider getting a replacement panel. It would all come down to the price for cosmetic perfection.

On matte black, can you just hit the scratch with a black marker to make it a bit less obvious? You might have to do it every couple of months, but it seems to me it would be worth a try.

Oh - and welcome aboard, manueldg!
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

but please, don't delete anybody, no matter how badly they deserve deleting :)
