Sad News On My Brand New Bike

Discussion in 'Detailing and cleaning' started by Sty797, Jul 19, 2020.

  1. So this morning while at work I noticed that somehow my brand new Monster 797 has a very bad scratch on it. Not sure how I did it but obviously I was careless.

    what do you guys think I should do? It’s a flat paint so I can have it repainted but it’s small enough where a wrap? Ducati stickers on both sides? Any other ideas? I believe I accidentally keyed my beautiful new bike...

  5. Thanks. It’s small enough where I guess I can do a touch up.
     
  6. The most annoying thing about brand new is that every little blemish is times 100 on the shit scale, hope you sort it!!:upyeah:

  7. The law of sod say’s you have 2 more to come, so wait till they are out the way then get it done.

  9. Some sort of carbon fibre tank protector?
     
  10. If the paint is matt (can’t really tell from your photo) then a repair will be neigh on impossible at home (from what I understand even the paint shop might struggle).
    If it’s normal paint then chips away or similar.
    Good luck :upyeah:

  11. for some reason its seems matt is all ducati do at the moment : unamused:
     
  12. I have it on my Striple. Looks bloody fantastic but I have never worried about paint so much in my life o_O
    Never again.
    BTW. Motul do a brilliant Matt paint cleaner.
     
  13. A bit late now for the guy who posted but I’ve had Matt paint protection film on a bike and it was a god send. Found the best thing to clean it was clear glass cleaner and a micro wipe.
     
  14. Fries away?
