Some of you might recall that I cracked my right side cover as soon as I got it back from the prison...  so, I bought more paint & got it re-painted at the prison... 

Well, the other day, I had my side cover sitting on the seat while my battery was on tender.  My nephew (moved, dropped, bumped?) my side cover and I found it on the concrete.  I am now looking online for touchup Nissan Goldstone (year 1999, was originally on Nissan Frontiers).

The paint on the edges of the side cover is chipped on pretty much every side from the tumble. 

No way to foresee that this will not happen again....   So, which would you choose?

1/2 oz Touchup Bottle $9.95
2 oz Touchup Bottle $14.95
12 oz Aerosol Spray Paint $19.95
1/2 oz Paint Pen $12.95
Ready To Spray Pint Can $39.95
Ready To Spray Quart Can $74.95

Just called the local paint shop & they will do 2 oz touch up for $6.  Gone to get it now.

I used to work at the prison, but still work for the state.  Because I work for the state, I can still bring my stuff to the prison to be painted.

Thanks for the compliments all.

My wife started cleaning and disassembling tonight on her Ascot project.  I have to show her your bike so she can see 'what a girl can do'.   ;D
