Scratched!
 
Hi,

I scratched the rear bodywork of my bike (about 5 inches long) when manoeuvring it too close to a skip. It's quite deep so I can't polish/T-cut it out. Is there a cheap and easy way to get it like new? Was considering buying a whole rear panel or getting it resprayed.

What do you think? Thanks in advance.

I did the same, but againt a brick gatepost. #-o
Thinking of going at it with a dremel but I'm a bit nervous about it! Anyone tried this?

Hello, I'm new here.

I bought mine used with a similar gash. I hid the gash with 2 vinyl hash marks on both sides until I can repaint it (this weekend hopefully). The hash marks actually look good, but it bothers me to know what's under them. Just go to a sign shop and ask for some scrap vinyl in the color of your choice and cut them with an xacto knife. Kinda like this // // for the left.
