Man I F up
I was repainting the tank on my shadow and didnt notice the garage door was open and got a nice mist of over spray on the Nomad luckily it was clear coat and you cant see it but you can feel it. I got it off the chrome with solvent but I havent tried on the paint yet. This was a Dee Dee Dee moment that will take a little work to fix. :-/

probably won't be all that bad, Matt.
Try some 3M swirl mark remover, or comparable fine polishing compound; should come off ok. Been there, done that!! good luck! |

Look on the bright side, at least your Nomad is going to get a good polish and will be look sharp soon

Thought I recognized an English licence plate ! English lad in Canada. Have a blue/silver 2005 Nomad I just bought last weekend. Have not had chance to ride it yet.

Picked up some Maguire's at auto zone and did a little on the tank and it works. I'm going to get on it when I feel better I got a case of the gunky funk that kicking my butt. Thanks for the help

Glad we could help you in a time of despair
How'd the paint job turn out? Also, DO NOT drop the claybar and reuse it since it may pick up a piece of grit and scratch your paint. They say if you drop it to throw it away.
