those scratches are called character........you are now a official BIKER........lol j/k

seriously, really sucks ***** to put the first scratch on it........

 

Try looking from a different light, You now have the perfect excuse for putting that ultra custom paint scheme on it. If I ever muck up the factory mine is going to be Black with dark blue flames, May be one day. Good luck.

 

Thanks for all the advice, it is easier to take as time passes. The sharpie thing sounds like it might work out ok. Just to make it a little less obvious. I don't think I have the ***** to sand the paint. I was never good at body work, much better mechanically.
