Very nice, you did a great job.
Dang
A lot of work for just a clear coat...maybe I should just ride and not worry about it....then repaint it in a few years.
Not just clearcoat. Metallic red with a tinted clearcoat them several coats of regular clear over that then 3000 grit sanded and then buffed.
It is a lot of work, if to do over I would shine the black asbest I could and just ride, saving the $1400 that itcost. And that price is withme tearing down an reinstalling. I do know how it all goes together now and have no fear to disassemble the body parts for air filter or any other which takes a while. I would also help others to dissasemble for a cheap price, a bed, meals while visiting a new area.
Better get yourself ready big boy...your coming to Myrtle Beach!
In WV at the moment helping 85 yr old mom with some things. But like to travel around usually. Stay in touch and we can discuss it.
I also have a black 2013 with the same paint problems.
I called up Glare ang talked to them and I bought the Winners Circle kit.
Bike now looks great I can wipe the bike down and it doesn't scratch the paint.
And it has a fantastic shine!

I'm pretty sure this will be my approach. It irritates me to no end that Honda did this, but I love the bike and hope to keep this on a very long time, so I am starting to accept I will just have to paint it at some point. I'm hoping at some point Honda will have to acknowledge the problem.Originally Posted by RuneRider66
That's what I am going to do.
One of the reasons I traded my 2013 in for a 2015 to get that matte silver finish. Wash it and go. Easiest bike I've ever had to take care of. Especially after having a Rune with all of the chrome and tight spots to clean.
