I, too, have seen the new black full Wing and confirm the paint is clearly the same as that applied on the F6B. However, my clear coated 2012 full Wing was metalic red and the clear coat Honda used was soft and swirl marks were noticable fairly quickly. So, clear coat is not necessarily the answer if it is applied by Honda in Japan. In fact, my red non clear coated F6B has held up better than my '12 did.
This paint thing could drive one "nuts", some fine, some not, some issues, some none.. I wonder how much Honda really cares???..I was fortunate enough to pay the "piper" and had mine painted by dealer before delivery mainly because my wife and I did not like the two colors offered...Turns out a good move for me and I hope those with serious paint issues can find a remedy that works for them...Otherwise,this is one great bike and I so far I really enjoy mine......even though it has been sitting in the garage for over 3 months due to this terrible winter....
