Touch up would probably do, your colour match looks good do you think spraying a bit into the lid and then a small brush is viable.



Yeh, I think that would do it, ive got a couple of small chips to do and plan to paint them this way...ive used hycote paint, the match is good but its a bit too matt, ive also used simoniz on other projects and this has more of a sparkle to it, think this would be a better match for the fazer....

" but it has made other bits and pieces look a bit shabby "

Have a heart! "A bit shabby", it makes my bike look positivly unloved!

A bit like the day I saw my mates ex-wife after she got a boob job. I had forgotten just how good looking she could be.

Seams to be a problem with the silver painted engines, worth putting up with though as they have a lot more horses than the black ones  :pokefun
