How does yours look?

The top of my headstock is looking a little tired as you can see from the scratches (previous owners keys proberly) it doesn't clean up.

How can I tidy this up without buying a new one? What have you done with yours? (if you have)

Thanks

previous owner of mine put a carbon fibre sticker on. Looks ok, but flatty's planning on painting his black to match his newly painted back clipons and radiators.

I'll pop a piccy up later case it helps.

I did the yokes and clipons in Hammerite satin black on my old SV650S. Looked nice!

And it lasted ages before needing a quick coat again.

That's because flatty is still using stupid imageshack as his host.

They do load it just hogs the bandwidth and takes bloody ages.

Carbon covers up a lot of scratches

A lot of my Alloy is looking rough now after several winters use. Planning on using something like Plasti-kote to spray it black during the winter. Should make the best colour bike, Yellow, look even better.
