Can you show us an image?

If you can show its from bad paintwork, and not caused by your own fault (just saying, thats all! not suggesting it IS your fault!) then it should be easy to get it resprayed under warrenty (providing your within the period!)

Question: have you got any solvents on the tank, like petrol, methylated spirits, acetone, that kinda thing?

the pics arent showing it up well.

You can see a bit of it to the left of the tank on one of the pics.

Might be just worth me takin it down to a dealers and see what they say.

seems strange that its in a straight line across half the tank
