Yes indeed, every single time sometimes I coin would stick to the magnet and I wouldn't notice, sometimes so e metallic dust from the sand, on my Victory the paint was so soft that the magnet and the liner on it left and indentation. I guess I just don't care about that much and I keep using it.

Yeah, I was thinking just the desert sand alone getting trapped between magnet and tank acting like 2000 grit sandpaper, one granule at a time.

The dust in the air is so fine we have to have special micro-filters for car and home air-conditioning, and there is a film of that dust on top of everything all the time, it is also in the air and tends to sand the plastic and even glass off of headlights over time and of course everything else that is exposed. You can't escape it, it's always there

So, does that mean paint is optional?

Heck, one less thing to worry 'bout.
