I have a couple of chips, which I kind of expect, but that's another level

What the heck did you do to cause that much damage? The letters are also all scratched up so not a paint defect. How bad is the bumper?

Did you tailgate an aggregate truck hauling gravel? Wow.

Good catch, looks that way to me also, he has had something near or on the grill and letters to cause that damage.

Well it’s only like two to three rows on the grille. I guess I can paint it

That's other level...

The closest I ever came to dying on a motorcycle was going through a Palmetto swarm in Florida.

I was wiping bugs off the grill with water and a microfiber cloth and the paint flaked right off without much pressure. Dealer is trying to warranty it and get me a new grill (and yup it’ll just happen again but I want to see if they’ll let me keep the original one so I can paint it correctly). But the plastic grill is so smooth. Whoever manufactured it for ford didn’t even bother sanding the plastic prior to paint. I don’t think they even did a coat of primer so it’s just direct paint to smooth plastic. The paint essentially has nothing to bond to.

Next you will see the handlebar through the grille.
