Well my PX is 18 years old and has lived near the salty UK coast all its life. However, i cannot clearly understand why its fairing, mudguard, side panels and toolbox have gone a matt black when the rest of the frame has a shiny sheen to it. Im not particularly that bothered as its sort of got a more honest retro aged look to it; paint and chrome dont get you home. Ive heard from others too that this happened to theirs too? I went to inquire about having a respray and the chap said this wasnt uncommon and he would only have to do certain parts of the scooter as seen this many times. We used to have a joke about PX's in the 80's that if you bought a new one in Italy built on a friday afternoon, its paint would peel off. The suggestion being that the workers all too excited to finish early and get home and did half a paint job. I did buy a p200 new in the 80's and this was actually the case for me, paint flaked off on frame as thin as anything when i used a hose on it. Anybody experience the same? if you zoom my photo you can clearly see paint has matted.
