You'd have to check the small print in the warranty but I would have thought you'd be in with a chance.
If the paint wears through due to normal use of the vehicle/bike then I would assume you would be covered. It's ridiculous that any new vehicle should rust due to normal use within it's first 2 years!
For example, if it was a new car you'd bought and the repeated opening and closing of the doors wore through the paint resulting in rust then you'd definitely be covered under warranty.
Slightly simplified analagy but surely the principal is the same?
Just my 2p worth, shoot me down at will!
