      Good news (exhausts) and bad news (paint) 
  Yesterday Neil at Cornerspeed fitted a set of Sil carbon slip ons to my 750ss. It's now bloody loud and sounds like a proper Ducati. I'm well impressed so far. So thank you Neil for a job well done.
 
 However, I also noticed yesterday that the dark goldy coloured paint was starting to peel away from my engine cover. After washing the bike even more had peeled away! I've now got a section about the size of a Jaffa cake that the paint has peeled away from.  And obviously this looks crap. So, any ideas on the best way to:
 
 a) stop anymore peeling away
 b) re-applying the paint.
 
 I don't really want to go for the full respray option at this point. Can I get some touch up pain and do it myself in the interim?
 
 Any thoughts much appreciated.
