Does anyone know of a method to remove or lighten some scratches that were made when I was putting back on some srews on the lower fairing? I've heard that trying to use touch up paint is very hard to do, does anyone have a trick that makes this easy to do and looks great?

Take a hammer and knock a good sized hole in the fairing, the scratch should barely be noticable then.

Lets see a pic, id suggest several applications of Scratch-X , otherwise just touch it up with paint..it dont have to be perfect.

I used a toothpick dipped in paint and kinda used it as a brush to fill in the crack. It works ok if the scratch isn't too big.

Good luck with it.

Use touch up a magnifying glass and a toothpick if deep. Try to polish out first before using any paint. If you must paint then do clear coat the same way. Get a sanding pen and use it if you get the paint and clear coat to think, sand and polish. Remember just a tiny drop on the end of the toothpick.
