    Touching up my bike

    Hi guys,

    I am new to this community so sorry if i have posted this in the wrong category or something.

    Anyways, I own a hero honda hunk. I have got a few small scratches on the front mudguard and also the black colour in the break lever as been peeled of. I could see the inner silverish grey colour. I would like to touch up my bike. Do you guys have any suggestions as to how i can go about it?

    Also i am planning to put a rear tubless tyre from michelin while retaining my front mrf zapper. Would that be fine?

      Hey,

      I have been enquiring about tyres for my hero honda hunk. I went to a michelin shop yesterday, the owner was not present but the technician said that the rear tyre (tubless) would cost 2600 and front one 1600 .. that sums up to 4200 and the same for mrf is 3400.

      Is michelin really this cheap?

        Order touch up paint pen from colorrite. Those are ideal for touching up small nicks and dents.

        All these cheap prices lead me to believe that there are a lot of fakes out there. Should not be so cheap.

          Ok, ill try that.

          All these cheap prices lead me to believe that there are a lot of fakes out there. Should not be so cheap.

          I went to a authorised michelin dealer. How about rear tire from michelin and front tire from MRF. Would that cause any problem? Just a theoretical question.

                Thank you.. Will probably go for michellin on front and rear.

                And suhail.. nothing can be done except touchup.. I did a thorough research on the net. There are scratch removers but it seems they corrode u r paint too like thinners. Thats what i gathered.

                Try your luck

                  you can use the spray paints if there are very big scratches. If the scratches are small then you can use formula 1 rubbing compound.

                      as suggested if the scratches are big. first use a rubbng compound to mix it out with the surrounding area.

                      also you can use the pen for small light scratches.

                      for the brake lever even if you paint it. its a part thats used very frequently so nutin wouls stick. either go for a new lever but that paint would last max 6 months. also wearing mesh/textile gloves will reduce the paint wear off

                      other option is look for silver finish lever and change both the clutch and brake lever and be at peace.

                          Well first take a sand paper and rub it on the surface with rust until a smooth rust-free surface is obtained. Use a spray paint available at any bike spares shop. Just take a right shade and spray accordingly.

                          By saying under body parts you mean the the engine part or the chassis? If its the engine part then better you do nothing. Cuz these spray paints usually chip off easily on engine due to the heat generated by them.

                              Ok, so sand paper and a spray paint needed. Any/few brand you recommend?
                              Before spray painting won't i be needing any primer coating?
                              With under body, i meant chassis & frame parts. Btw, engine cylinder has few spots of peeling of paints too, but I'm not thinking of painting it though.
