Tiny scratches

Post by Ninjachica »

Bummer. Must have had something caught on my trousers, and I now have a patch of fine scratches on the tank 😟😟

Recommendations?
Do I use t-cut?
Do I get one of those magic pens?
Or shall I just fill them in with crayon?

Not a full re-spray to white?

Careful T cut, followed by crayons if it doesn't work. Last resort, buy stickers to cover it up.

How deep are they? I've got some good polishes that may work...

((if you can feel them with your fingernail, they're usually too deep to polish out))

Might be too deep - I need to wash the bike first, then have a think about it.
I'm sure no one else will even see them - but I know they're there.

Bit of boot polish rubbed in will probably do the trick...
