I recently purchased a 2013 black F6B. It now has 900 miles on it. I am not happy with the paint protection, especially with the small micro scratches on the parts on and around the gas cover.

What would it take to have a clear coat sprayed on the bike? Would I have to dismantle all the parts? or just some of them and tape off the rest? I would like to keep the paint looking as good as possible.

Thoughts and suggestions?

Just took the Rune on a 2 thousand mile trip because I didnt want the paint of the B to get messed up. Yes, I know. I am a bit anal but want to keep it nice!!!

I have a friend that does damn good paint work....HOLY CITY Choppers in Charleston. Have been thinking about him just putting a clear coat on the B. Does he have to sand or scuff the paint in order to spray the clear?

Just looking for advice.

Thank you
