Nose cone repair, paint blending?
I have a Black pointy (07) and when I purchased the bike, it has a small crack on the nose. After welding and filling the crack, I am happy with the strength. However, I have now sprayed the area after rubbing it down smooth. My issue is that I now have a distinct line of where the original paint and the new paint meet. The paint also has a slightly different texture/appearance to the original.
Is there anything I can do to make this a better match? |

Re: Nose cone repair.
You could try some very fine wet and dry 1500-3000 grit to reduce the lip between the two painted surfaces, where they were masked off. Then try a DA or rotary polisher to bring back an equal lustre and finish to both surfaces.
A photo might help us give you the best advice, to be fair. H |
