I have contacted my dealer and wrote a note on my survey to honda about how unhappy i am with the paint, my bile is all black. My question is to the folks with red bikes, are the scratches as bad?noticable on the red? i was thinking of asking honda to replace all the black with red, i really love the blacked out look but this bike is less than 3 months old and the paint looks like crap already.
thanks

Re: Paint question
More info required.
Is this a 2008 1800? Can't be if its "new".
Recently painted? By Whom? What paint? Was it properly prepped?

Re: Paint question
Kind of depends on the depth of the scratch. If it just in the clear coat it is barely noticeable, but if it is in the underlying silver base coat (like mine) it is quite noticeable.

Posted 6 days ago and never came back for an answer, guess he is not that interested. Or he finally waxed it!
