Piece of crap Abba stand came apart on me. Luckily didn't drop the bike but did scratch the black here. Ideas?

Auwch that must have hurt, seems you are struggling with that Abba stand... shame.
Otherwise this looks a solid one :shocked:

thats powder coated, going to be very hard to match.
I figured it was. Magic marker certainly doesn't match but I have to do something. Surely I'm not the first idiot to scratch the frame, hopefully somebody will have an idea that gets close.

It's slightly textured as well....it would be very hard to match, even buffing it might be a challenge but if you get some scratch repair for paint, you might be able to very lightly blend it in...?? I'm no body repair tech though....

May have to go with @Dai 's suggestion and get a frame cover for now...I have been looking around for something that would repair that and have found nothing so far..

Either that or get some sort of decal...???

I have colored scratches on black aluminum 4wheeler frames(same thing).
I used a black sharpie, let it dry, rubbed it with alcohol on a rag and dulled it, rubbed it dry, and repeated a few times.
It's wasn't perfect, but made it blend better.

There’s a plastic dip color that matches really close too, graphite or something.
