They did with mine Posiden,
Ducati Glasgow had mine stripped down and painted and back together quick smart, very impressive, as soon as i asked about the paint coming away there was no if or buts they just advised to go down the warranty route, next question same as Dave was what colour do you want, that was the hard part.
They will after all be billing Ducati for the hours under the warranty nice little earner if you can get it and the customer is happy too which is what it is all about.
Twinfan,
If you go with the black frame same as the 05 bike most people would not be able to tell the difference, only a real sad spotter would remember there was a difference for the 04.
My suspicion is that Ducati changed the frame colour for more than marketing reasons, they obviously twigged the silver frame and the paint finish in particular was causing them problems, hence part of the reason for the colour change???
Nice bike by the way, where did you get the rear sets from...??
