It's unlikely you did any harm from a structural point of view.

Ask a grown-up to help you in future.

I was in a hurry, no excuse could I put some sort of black paint on it?There must be someone who has had a similar problem.:rolleyes:

you could try these solutions

but you could do more harm than good, be very careful as one post said resin is a glue so you could melt it trying to fix it

I did exactly the same thing was F*%kin fumin............... What I did was cover over with a small piece of insullation tape (Black.. as my frame is black) and re fitted another sensor over it, the tape actually has a double purpose as it gives a good fixing point for the new cable ties as the straight carbon surface can be quite slippy and can be hard to get a solid attachment to fork ...you actually wouldnt notice it at all now...... and then just tried to forget about it whole nasty saga.............. Hope this works for you too

You could just buy some suitable stickers to cover it on Ebay. You can pretty much get anything on there. I did that on my old trek until after a few years it looked like a Nascar with all the logo's on it and I just got the whole thing resprayed.

Never thought of that Bikerboy good idea just looked at it again its not as bad as I first thought.Failing that stickers might do the job.
