Commuted to work on my Road Glide yesterday and heard a little mettalic clink. After getting home and doing the wipe down i see this mark on my front fender. I rub across it and its a chip down to the metal. I am not wanting buy another fender not just yet. Wondering if there is any other solutions before I go new fender route.

Paint touch up kits. You should be able to get the paint number(s) on your bike from the dealership. There are probably other sources of this info so others will likely chime in with that info.
Match the paint number to the touch up kit and you're good to go.
BTW, the touch up kits that I've seen look like felt tip markers. Very easy to use.

touch up paint from the stealer,new fender or repaint.. only options.. i would touch up,because it is going to happen as long as you ride it on the road..you would be fixing it more then riding

Factory touch-up paint, followed by Langka Blob Eliminator. It works wonders! Since you're down to bare metal, you'll have to dab a bit of primer in there first. The secret to success with the Langka stuff is to use a low-nap cloth with the Langka solution. A microfiber will remove too much of the touch-up paint. A well worn cotton tee that is ready for the rag pile is perfect. BTW, you don't need their special pre-cleaner. Any mild solvent that doesn't leave a residue will work. It's only to remove any built-up wax from the area. I use mineral spirits. On a solid color, you can't even tell there was ever a chip.

Touch up paint works pretty well...if you take your time. By that i mean plan on several applications. Mistakes are made trying to do it in one touch. Use just a dab, let it dry and then another dab, etc. when you have achieved the depth you want use a fine scratch remover ( I like Meguiars) to blend it in.

If you was in the Tampa area I could suggest a paint man who could fix that for you for a very reasonable cost

agreed on the multi-coat touch up job...use a fine hair brush helps too then like stated earlier use a scratch eliminator to finish... it wont look perfect but a damn site cheaper than the new fender or repaint bill
