Okay, a buddy of mine and I were talking this morning and he has got a bit of a dilemma. He was looking at his bike yesterday and found about a nickel-sized chip in the front fairing of his bike (40th Anniv Busa) right next to the spot for the left turn signal that is extremely noticeable. He's a perfectionist, like me which is why we get along so well, and asked me whether or not he should try to sand and fix the little chip or just buy a new fairing. He did finger painting as a kid, but never painted anything like this. I'm no painter either, so I told him he has 3 choices:
1) Ignore it and ride the bike like he stole it (not really an option since he's a perfectionist)
2) Buy the equipment and try to repair it himself (call it an investment for the future)
3) Buy the new fairing and be done with it ($300 and no wasted time)
Like I said, I don't do any painting either so I would go for option #3 but I would ask some of my friends what they would do. So . . . what say you?
