After a lowside, my daytona got a few superficial scratches in the tank, but one is pretty deep and I can even see the primer.

So, I bought this touch-up pen @ ebay e added painting enough to cover the deep scratch... and now, it looks shitty, like this:



What's the solution now? Sanding with the finest sandpaper and then polishing?

unfortunately - that's the case with all types of paint. since paint will fade over time, even if you get OEM paint and fill it in, it will look a shade different.

you might be able to take the tank to an automotive paint shop and try to have them color match, but it still won't look the same. plus you'll be missing the clear coat on top.
