Just a quick update guys: After getting a scratch on the tank (knife in my pocket scratched it when I was unloading it from my truck) and noticing a few other imperfections, I am going to redip it. My "buddy" that helped me do it at first did a decent job, but did not take the fairings off so there is some overspray. Also I think he only did 2-3 coats which is why the smallest road debris causes it to chip.
With that said, I had a professional take the front clip off for me and I will be redoing the whole thing. I am completely redoing the tank, then adding coats to the other parts. I plan on doing around 6 coats total. Now that it is in my hands, there will be PLENTY of pictures to come! Going to give her a deep clean while everything is off and then begin the respraying process.
