Default paint problems

so i've found a few spots on my vivid black bike that seem to be a flaked candy red. almost like the black didn't cover a base coat or a spray gun had some red left in it. the bike is new i think i might take it in to the dealer and see what they say. is this a common problem?

That is a good idea too take it back to the Dealer.

I would call the MOCO first and let them be aware of your problem so your complaint is on file. I had a paint problem and the person at MOCO email me a folder to send him pictures and gave me a complaint report number for the dealer. He then told me to visit my dealer show them the paint and if there were any problems email him back.
