Two of the three paint sets for 2013 FXSBSE feature a new a hand-polished metal finish. In both the Black Diamond and Molten Silver color and the Hard Candy Gold Dust and Liquid Sun paint schemes, the paint effects are achieved by media blast to expose the bare metal, followed by a ten step sanding process and a three step hand-polished process. The bare metal is clear coated to protect it from exposure to the elements. The process imparts a bright luster to the metal that results in a high level of shine when finished unlike any other paint scheme. The hand polishing process leaves small unique hand-working lines in the finish that are a nature of the highly custom process applied to each. These metal polish lines are a normal part of the hand-polishing process and will vary slightly from part to part and bike to bike. No special care day-to-day is required on the parts. However, if a stone chip is encountered in the polished metal section, it needs to be touched up immediately to prevent the bare metal from being exposed to the environment.
