[ST] Minor Fairing Paint Repairs

[John Cooper <supecoop@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Has anyone tried to repair minor scratches and scrapes using touch-up 
repair kits?  I have a few small scratches on my fairing (from a parking 
lot incident) that I don't think are worth a whole paint job but they 
make me wince.  I've never worked with ABS plastic and don't want to 
make things worse.  The scratches are deep enough that the white plastic 
definitely shows. Didn't find much in the archive but I'm sure there's a 
proper method for preparing the surface and layering the paint.  If the 
consensus is that spraypainting is required or that I should just 
replace the fairing, well it would probably save time.  Thanks for any 
suggestions.

BTW, a couple of people - like me - mentioned that they sustained some 
damage prior to installing frame sliders.  Did you repair it or just 
replace the fairing?
