i would'nt do it yourself unless you know what your doing, ive touch'd chips up before and they look worse as for cost of having it done proff i wouldnt know.

Is Candy Red a flat colour or pearlescent (sp)?
If its flat just the area around the chip can be re-sprayed and blended in. If it's pearlescent this is much harder to do without it showing. A pro paint shop charge about £800 for a full re-spray so maybe £100 (?) to do your tank. |

I got my black SK4 repaired by a car stone chip repair company called PICARSOO in the Durham area, only cost me £60 plus paint. They did do an excellent job cant even tell where the chip was now.

heros, nobody but Suzuki seem to have touch up paint for that colour at the moment. It is a three layer paint, so fixing chips and scratches is not straightforward at all.

if its only slight, you could get some red turtle wax (the one with the touch up stick)
