Front fender touchup help

[steelpix]

When I was doing my nut and bolt maintenance recently, I found two of the nuts off one side of the front fender. Because of that, that side had been moving up and down and wore about a 3/4" mark on the fender, wearing the paint off.

What do you recommend to at least cover that up? It is a black fender. Suggestions?

Thx

Black is black. If it were me I would just remove the fender, clean it up real good and give the wear marks a light coating from a rattle can. Repeat as needed.

Look at:

At the drop down bars' search area on the left, select "motorcycle paint", "2007", "suzuki" etc.

Yours is "Pearl Nebular Black", a color distinctively different from mine which is "Saturn Black".

You might think so, but in reality, there are probably hundreds of different "shades" of black. And, there are conditions, like bright sunlight, where they will look completely different.

That said, if you can't find a match, you could probably get away with a spray can if you took the time to blend in the edges afterward. You might have to clear coat it, too.
