Default Scratch on front fender 2020 SG Special

How hard is it to have a front fender in performance orange repainted or order a color matched front fender. Looked on Harley, I saw them for like $700, but no performance orange.

Are we talking about a 1/4" scratch or a 6" scratch?

Color Rite makes a touch up paint pens, small containers of paint and clear, and it is about 90 dollars for a half pint.... and I have heard they are using PPG paints so the reducers are easily found locally

I would send an email up to Bryan Dwight at www.bdscycles.com (Lancaster S.C.) and ask him what he would charge you to prep, sand, feather edge, prime, block, seal, and paint it in BC/CC plus shipping.... Bryan is one of the best painters I know and he is able to duplicate or exceed the factory paint... and trust me that is not an easy thing to do.

A sample of his work is here.... tell him Neggy from the ZRXOA sent you https://www.bdscycles.com/baggers-cruisers

Default Scratches in front fender

It's about 3 scratches like a claw mark about 2 inches a piece. Thanks for the painter's name. I may look into it. Just got off the phone with Harley. They say they can probably get me a new fender for $700

Is it thru the clear?

HD puts a TON of clear on their parts, as long as it is still in the clear sanding it with 2500 wet paper and then buffing with a fine compound ( Mirka PC-12 is my go to) is an option.

Got a picture?

No picture yet. I actually bought the bike last Wednesday and they took $1500 off the price because of it. It has 367 miles on it and has factory warranty until October 31, 2022. So with that said, I told then to go ahead and put me some 12 inch bkack meathook apes and Krome Worx slip ons. Also aftermarket grips for the bars. Supposed to pick it up Thursday or Friday since I'll be off of work. It's a 2020 Street Glide Special in Performance Orange.

Find a good, local, custom painter. The gal/guy that the hot rodders go to. They will fix it for a LOT less than $700.
