I chipped some paint off

[gripweed]

Bummer, I know.

I was using the pressure washer to clean out some caked up dirt on the bottom and hit the front fender and it shot a chunk off.

I'm debating just leaving it, as I'll probably be buying something new in a year or two. I'd like to at least patch it up and keep it from spreading. Any suggestions?

Anyone know of a spot/repair paint that works well with it?

Picture would help.

Picture would help.

I'll grab a couple this weekend. It's been nothing but rain and cold here, so it's been tucked away.

Could it be a '82, '83 GS1100E plastic fender?, very easy to knock the paint off, see so many that the paint just flaked off around where it mounts to the forks.

Any idea of a brand or color that matches that blue? I don't know if Suzuki named it like modern car manufacturers do or not.

I'm half thinking of just painting everything. Though I plan on selling and getting something new in a year or two...would that hurt resale value typically? People probably want original, eh?

Something that small probably doesn't matter much on an old bike, unless it is a pristine Skunk or Katana or something.

You could get some Testor's paint in the little bottles for model and such and brush it on. Just find one close to the right color.

Yea a little bottle may be better. I'll end up spraying everything if I get a can. Maybe I'll try that first.
