Hi residnt e
I read a thread on the forum a litttle while ago about a member who had a similar problem. He ended up taking the bike to a paint "restorer" and was very happy with the job. I guess the success depends on the damage but it may be worthwhile investigating before you spend big $.
Try doing a search on Paint, restorer, Buffing - forget it here it is from Monyx (Ive got far too much time on my hands)
Thanks blokes - paid a visit to Paul out at Redback racepaints - nothing I couldn't have a go at I spose but naturally I got nothing in the shed nor the knowledge/technique. Service while I waited, coupla different tubes of stuff applied, 3000 wet block, two buffing wheels (he mentioned need heat which is not generated by hand polishing). I was lucky...must've had 0.5mm of the 1mm clear coat left to play with 'cos back to new which is good as the blue-pearl in the black would be hard to match on the K5 black/silvers.
etc.
