I did that on my wife's bike several years ago. I carefully dabbed some paint in, let it dry, dabbed a little more in, let it dry, etc until the level was up to original, then carefully wet sanded, clear coated and buffed out. It was much better but still noticeable if you were looking for it. Even though we sold that bike around 7 years ago, I still hear about it.

I had my local vinyl sign shop make up some larger than life band-aids for me a few years back. cost about 5 bucks. Atleast a humorous repair.  |

Hi, Does anyone know the correct paint code? ??? Under the seat it says W12240 - but I don;t think that is right...? Its a standard Rumble Bee - Black and yellow -  (She Who Must Be Obeyed shown here in the background making sure I don't use my mobile to order any more parts without her knowing....) Cheers |
