That paint job is 7 years old. It helps being a detailer!
I just cut it last weekend and it looks as good as new. No rust in 13 years I've owned it either. Not bad for a VL. I just put the first CAS in it in 13 years too. It's never had a new timing belt though. I really should do that one day. Oh still the original AFM too.
