I got my scratches fixed with very fine sand paper carefully to prevent destruction of the black anodized layer on top. Then filling the holes with epoxide glue, and then shaving over again for a clean smooth surface. Lucky for me the seals was not destroyed and no leaks at all. USD forks with guards are much harder to scratch the stanctions when crashing in rock gardens.

 dude look at my fork dents and ding compared to that...and i ride mine still

 Only those who dont ride , dont have their forks scratched.
