Hi there. I have a bit of OCD. I think. How critical is this small dent? Should I consider anything?
⚠️ This is the front driveshaft.

Haha, you should see the driveshaft on my old 80. Looked like a barbershop pole from climbing a rock while hung up on the rear driveshaft. Kept on running it no problems

I can be a little hard on my driveshaft sometimes. If it's just a little ding or a little paint scraped off i just spray some new paint on it. When the gouges get deep or I can start to see/feel the little spiral candy-cane ridges start forming, then i get them re-tubed. I carry one as a spare...
