If I spent that kind of money on paint I wouldn't cover it up.

As for scratches.A bike that is ridden is going to get some nicks and scratches.

Only way to avoid any blemishes is to park it in the garage,cover it up,and never ride it.

if your painter is any good he sould put enough clear on the covers so that if you get a scrape it should buff out. i rebuff mine about once every couple months with microfinish compound. everything stays shiney!!
