Paint question regarding 04 ROCKSTER.

[GilH]

I noticed the paint on my 2004 ROCKSTER is easily, and by easily I mean even a light rub with key or even watch straps immediately makes a significant scratch. I've been retouching them with paint from the auto a parts store and it matches pretty good. I was wondering if anybody else has that happen to the paint in the gas tank and if there is a coating or polish that will prevent this paint scratching off so easily.

That so,

Never had a Rockster, but I'd suggest buying some 3M paint protection film, cutting it to size, and applying it to the areas where you've been encountering this. I can't be sure from your avatar, but if your paint is a matte color, you can use 3M film that has a matte/frosted finish that will be almost invisible.

 

You can buy modest quantities on Amazon. I'd suggest using a wet mounting technique (lots of YouTube videos on this), which tends to be easier and more forgiving of being an amateur, like me.
