BIG DENT ON THE PAINT - HELP

[francoblay1]

It's been an accident in my garage... I told my wife I do NOT wanted to know how it has happened! :angry::bang:

My questions are;

1. Is there a temporary/easy fix for this dent before it gets worse?
2. Maybe some good quality stickers? :loony:
3. Could I find the paint color code and how much would I need? (I would need it to be shipped to Spain)
4. Another option in my mind is maybe to paint some writing, maybe "Highly Dangerous" on both sides of the tank. "Highly Dangerous" get it?

Please state all your ideas. Thanks for your help :up:

Just read another thread on here where Amylu got the paint codes for someone. Stickers won't work as you will still know that it's there. Have to bite the bullet on this one. What deductable do you have with your isurance. It was an acci"dent".

Clear nail polish will keep water out from under it.

Franco, I was stationed in Spain for 5 years 96-01, In Rota, now in Afghanistan Mi-17 Instructor. If you are close, there were some guys at the Harley place that could help you out. Hook up with some local HA's their and they will know for sure.

Sorry to see that Franco...surely someone over there can fix it.
(I opened my old ladys car door at the gas station and the door hit a pipe that guards the pumps and put a goodsize dent in it. Cost me $500.00 on deductible. She wasn't too mad !! Shit Happens Brother!!) Good Luck!!

Yeah Jerry, I am hoping the Insurance will cover it!

Damn! Sorry Franco. I wish you the best of luck on getting that fixed.

OH OH ! That really sucks! It looks like it is a giant chip. It may be a hard one to hide Franco. Hopefully your insurance will cover it. Good Luck!

Maybe you need a sticker stating:

"The Wife Did This" with an arrow pointing to it. :lol:

Sorry for your loss Franco

Contact airbrush-ed that's on here. I'm sure he would know paint code. Also, I've never seen paint but on a bike like he can. He has one hell of a God giving talent!!!

 

[woodbutcher]

time for your wife to learn how to take the tank off and send it to AirbrushEd.
