hi altamont...
i too added the nks a few months after the fact...
and considered what to do with the stainless dings...
you could have a 'dent removal shop' try working the dings from the back side...
this should work well at reducing the appearance of all but the deepest divots...
but IF you have more than a few, the price is gonna be close to that of new segment protectors...
my approach was to clean and coat the stainless with a mineral oil based product and just keep using them...
over time the dings appear less noticeable, or my vision is fading....
one other issue...
OPEN/SWING THE SEGMENT PROTECTORS OUT AND INSPECT THE a/s SKIN behind them...
there may very well be filiform corrosion BEHIND them, and at the attachment points...
another option for the stainless segment protectors is decals and 'bumper stickers'...
they make a great canvas for...
'save the whale, eat more chicken, ban the bong, vote green, kiss my cheeks, be a pirate' statements...
cheers
