I am convinced that the cosmetic issues I'm experiencing are not down to my lack of care and maintenance, rain, salt, my island environment, etc. but is a manufacturing defect.
I am out of warranty so it's my problem. Will just have to try Krupator's solution of gun-kote. I see it's made in matt silver so will give it a go. Could someone recommend the correct grade - 2400 seems to be the one but I am not sure.
Beardy from London had corroded parts replaced under warranty and another UK rider had corroded cylinder barrels replaced by Honda under warranty but it's too late for me.

I'm in Holland at the moment and my buddy has just imported this wagon from Chicago, Illinois, 44 years old, original paint, sound chassis and comes from the rust belt.
Wish my bike was made by Chrysler!!!

John, I grew up near Chicago and have owned a few similar cars. That one didn't spend it's life near Chicago. It was likely in the west or south regions of the USA during the part of its life where it was used everyday then moved to Chicago when it became collectable. Then it was garaged over the winter to protect it.
My first car after graduating high school in 1994 was a 1972 Plymouth Gran Fury, the trunk (boot floor), rockers, floorboards, rear quarter panels, and more had large holes and I thought it was one of the nicer cars I had seen in the area.
