Wow, I really feel for you. The same thing happen to me and a friend. His American Iron Horse chopper came loose in the enclosed trailer (we didn't see it until we stopped). Luckily for me his tank rested on the end of my kuryakyn grip instead of my tank. My grip rub a spot about the size of a half-dollar in his tank but did not dent it. The damage to me: a new grip end cap from Kuryakyn ($15). The damage to the American Iron Horse:
$1100 to repaint the spot. American Iron Horse in Dallas wanted $2500 to repaint the tank! Thank God for good old Vivid Black paint jobs!

 

hurts just to look at it...

 

I agree with Joe, a good air brush artist should be able to fix that, and you'll never know it happened. Sorry to see it though. That clear coat looks like 10 mils or more, they'll have to build it up a little after color blending, before they reshoot the whole tank with clear. Good luck.

 

OMFG, that Harley paint set

 

Damn kids.............

 

Sorry to hear about that. However I am sure you will bring it back even better.

 

Sorry man... One of my favorite paint sets.

 

Frikken Sportster, always hatin on the Dynas.
Seriously though my condolances man. Yours is one of my favorite paint jobs.
Hope it repairs nice and cheaply.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! That's absolutely brutal. Do I see an insurance claim in your future??

 

Man that's the pits Jake, sorry to hear that. I bet the boy feels as bad as you do.
