Found this nice little present that someone left for me when I was cleaning the bike today. 4 scratches on the blue paint just above the black and white trim tape, a chip out of the W on the BMW badge and a nice deep scratch on the small plastic wing leading up to the screw.

The plastic wing I will try to polish out as best I can or will just replace it, the badge will just need replacing. What can be done about the big scratches? Can this be spot repaired and colour matched or will the whole thing need to be sanded back and repainted. If this is the case then would it just not be cheaper to buy a new side panel minus the carbon bits?

How's that happened?

You can get touch up paint from rsbikepaint. I bought the blue kit to repair a stone chip on my rear wheel and I can't see where the chip was after doing it. Worth a try imo.
