Well it happened, I haven't owned my first Harley for a full week, and I just encountered my first paint "ding" on my front fender. A 2004 FLHRCI with an otherwise flawless paint job now marred by a flying rock. I never realized how much this would affect me! I am beside myself and am looking for comfort, relief and suggestions on how to get it fixed - Please Help!!

You can buy touch up paint from the dealer, or a local paint shop can try to color match. But it will happen again. Unless you want a Garage Queen, get used to it.

I wouldn't let it get to me much it will happen again. The dealer does have 2 bottle touch up kits.

Mine went all the way to bright shiny metal.. I put some clear sealer over the spot and then one of those fake bullet hole decales over the chip.. have to replace the decale every couple of months but until I get tired of chging it, I will keep on keeping on .. whatever that means..

Don't worry too much about it or you'll be doing alot of worrying becuase it won't be your last. I had a defect on the front fender of my '10 RGC. Dealer ordered me new one. I didn't make it home (130 miles) from getting it put on before I had a chip in it and mine is Black Denim (not an easy fix).

I've wondered about this before. Is there a way to fill that hole in, then touch it up so the new paint is at least flush with the existing paint?
