You should see my whole front end after 145K miles. The words, "Sand Blasted" come to mind.

I hear ya. Thousands of rock chips on my L.

Plus, when I bought an RS coupe wing (from a MY2000 RS) off someone, it the paint looked pretty good. A few months after I have installed it, the paint is starting to fade like crazy.

Hey Ballz, sorry for not getting back to you about the bike frame painting. Decided to go the cheaper route and painted it myself. Thanks for your time though.
