Welcome to the board, necron. 
As for the paint, it's hard to say without seein' the problem, which my 2003 doesn't have. Is it chippin' off? Or, is it just goin' away, as in gettin' thin and seein' the fairing material through it? My busa does have some very thin areas. Paint must be a certain thickness to have all the UV and chemical resistance that it is designed to have. If it's a thin area then the gas may be eatin' it off...
If that's the case and yer dealer won't help you out, you should try to get in touch with Suzuki. Let the dealer know that you plan to go straight to Suzuki if they don't remedy the problem... but first, be sure that it's a paint problem and not caused by something else.
