Touching up the swinging arm

[Jon.sb]

I have a Street Triple and posted over there but then figured that since the bike shares paint / coatings with the Daytona and tha D675 has been around longer I might get a better response here.......

I have a couple of cosmetic but rather nastey scuffs/scratches as a result of an accident while the bike was up on the paddock stand.

Obviously it doesn't need to be replaced but I'd like to cover up the marks without drawing too much attention to it.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

And, you will find more people like me who have tossed the bike down the track and had to figure out how to deal with a really, really ugly scuff!

I used some Hammerite spray paint. I assume it is available in the UK. It has a crinkle finish similar to the OEM frame and swingarm paint. It is a slightly different color, but not too bad. I have a few nicks in the frame as well as the big scuff on the swingarm, and my intention is to spray the Hammerite into an empty yogurt container and then use a cotton swab to fill the scratches. as long as it is a minimal application, I think it will turn out just fine and be next to invisible, unlike the repair I made to the swingarm. Nothing short of a whole new paint job is going to make it look perfect again.
