Default The Dang Rust Under the Clearcoat

So, I've searched the forum for an answer, and have come across a few discussions but no answers. I have a 2013 CVO Breakout - Black Diamond/Molten Silver with Crushed Slate Graphics. The front fender is developing the well-known issue of spider-looking rust under the clear coat on the polished metal. I am looking for any recommendations regarding this issue. I would love to get it fixed if possible. But a new fender is not out of the question either if it comes to that. I have seen Gunslinger mentioned. Has anyone reached out to them and been successful in getting a new fender?

Reach out to Gunslinger Custom Paint. They should be able to repair and repaint your existing fender. I’m sure there will be a cost involved, but they will do it correctly. They painted some parts for me last year and did a fantastic job.

Gunslinger Customs is the consumer side of Gunslinger, that paints some of the CVOs for HD.

Here is the most recent picture. It has spread over the past year.
There are plenty of horror stories regaring this issue on the internet.

Could also reach out to custom paint vehicles, they do nothing but Harley parts. Have used them a few times for different bike parts and do great work. I see CVO parts there all the time. They also work in conjunction with gunslinger.
