Go to your Buell dealer and order the touch up paint. Mask off the general area and spray. It will match and look like new.

If its just dull try Honda wash and polish spray. If its actually wearing through the paint and dulling do as Coolice says.

I just did my swing arm because of some streaking from de-greaser and it turned out nice with the XB graphite gray touch up spray paint. I ended up using some 600 grit sandpaper to ensure it had a good grab.

Thanks and Good luck just make sure you get the area prepped properly otherwise the paint will bead up and not lay down smoothly.
