Thank you for your explanation.
It looks like you've had bad luck with this beautiful bike from the very beginning...
Do not know how far away from your place is any other Honda dealer, but looking at your situation, I would not take this bike back to the same dealer again (if you have this option?)
My opinion: I know it hurts, but since these scratches look more cosmetic, I would use very fine sand paper, water it + frame, sand it down and repaint the frame by using semi gloss or gloss TREMCLAD Rust Paint, C$10.
ix your other things first, route electrical harness properly and then paint. I would not take the engine out to do the painting.
Small Claim Court would be too much of a headache, I guess ????

Wish you good luck, get over it and have safe, trouble free riding.
