Best way to fix fairings?

I bought this bike about 2 months ago, and the person I bought it from laid it over. The right fairing is a little dinged up, and I'd like to know if there is any simple ways to atleast make it look a little bit nicer.

This is the worst part of it, its about 2 inches long and a decent size chunk is missing. Not sure that there's anything I can do about this.


It's hard to see in this picture, but that crack that goes straight up was fixed with this ugly glue-like substance that has a orange'ish tint to it. Looks like a very ugly repair job.


Does anybody have any tips on how I could make this look a bit neater? Thanks

Just pick a better color. Blue grizzly bear would work well.

That's some really nice work man. I don't think I'm quite capable of that at this point though lol

I agree with Buddha, fur is the way to go for this one. Think of all the good looking women who would come up to you and ask to pet your bike...

You can also use a plastic welding kit, they are used to repair bumpers and stuff on cars. its basically a small blow-torch and some fiber-plastic welding rods. then you sand down smooth and paint.
Current project:
Mmotos full body kit (YOU DONT WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM... READ MY THREAD BOOT STATE UPDATE)
K&N Lunchbox
Buddah's jets
CBR F2 rearsets
Ducati pass pegs (Modified)
Kat rear wheel
Carbon Fiber Exhaust Can, possibly shortened and relocated
And so on......

I ordered that Three Bond Plastic Repair Kit. Now to paint over the area I was looking at www.colorrite.com. Will I need to order both the base and the suzuki blue color, even if its just for that small area?
