That's definately not a paint fault if it has lasted 2 years. I'd put my money on what the others are saying. Chances are it wasn't sealed properly and moisture has got in and caused it to go.

I also agree that rust is coming from the inside out

IMO £1200 for a repair and a full paint job is mega cheap

My RS1600i had a £4.5K paintjob, a proper rubbers out full on job and that was at 'mates rates'

However it lived outside and got used every day and looked mint still when I sold it.
