Need info on paint to use to repair my 04 FJR Damage in transport.

[OldBoy123]

I have a 2004 Silver FJR. Delivered a month ago.

It was ship by Federal Motorcycle Transport. If anyone would like to know?

The *** HOLES advertise they would use trucks with lift gates to load & unoload.

They did not use a lift gate on pick up. Instead they had a short ramp and two truck drivers forcing my FJR up into the truck. Seller & his father had to help steady the bike or it would have fallen off truck ramp. Thats what seller told me on the phone anyway.

Delivery? They put on a good show "my wife was home" using a truck with lift gate.

Yep made sure to deliver it when I was not home.

Arrived home one day from work and there it was park in my driveway. "Surprize".

Man was I pist. Well happy it made it too me.

Anyway it has a deep scratch on the left side bag. Im thinking of filling it with epoxy & sand it and repaint.

But im not sure of type of paint or if any clear coating is required?

Oh ya seem to have a few rock chips on the front fairing. Might touch them up too?

But there no big deal.

So any advice on how best to repair?

What paint products are best?

I'm not sure what to use on it to fill nicks, but if you can't fine the touch paint local check out Color rite Distributing Co. on line. They have almost all the colors.

Sorry to hear. What a bunch of numb nuts. Same thing happened to me on a 1980 Kawasaki I had when I moved from St Louis to Florida. I called the moving company and of course they took care of reimbursing me (so keep all your receipts) but what a pain I had finding someone to match the fender paint from a bike that old. It ended up looking great however. Hope you get yours back to looking the way you want it to.

I've also heard a lot of positive comments about colorrite. Good luck.
