On the trip to South Dakota in June I encountered lots of wind blowing lots of sand, and then lots of rain on the way back. The Honda logo on the fairing front took it the worst, so, out of curiosity I filled in the "O" with a permanent marker to see how long it would last. Seems it is doing pretty well, so I went ape on it.

Yeah, it could be done better, but the gold is bubbling so, no matter how good I do it, it will never pass close inspection. And it really does look okay from a few feet away.
And, most importantly, it looks perfect from the driver's seat. .🤪

Yeah, I don't know if the gold paint would work, or not, but if the surface is bubbled I'd say go ahead and try.
What's the worst that can happen?

Make sure you post your results, bad or good, here. So others can benefit.
