Hello everyone. Backstory, purchased this Lyrik a couple of months ago. Just finished my build and after the first ride I noticed that the left stanchion (where sag markings are) have white spots all over. Is not very visible in some lighting but definitely there. Not sure if the dots are little scratches or if it's "paint" that's used for the sag markings.

Honestly I noticed the spots when I first mounted the fork so it's not use related. It came like this:

What do you guys/girls think? Is this acceptable? Common issue? It is not dust or debris, I cannot remove it with a cloth.

Try riding more, let it break in and if it's still there and it bothers you, try contacting rockshox to see what they think (or do it now).

It is still there, definitely some type of stain/scratch. Contacted Sram, they claim they have never seen anything like that but won't warranty it.

Not at all, Cannot feel it.

Not great that SRAM won't warranty, but if it's totally smooth it shouldn't have any impact on the performance or seals. Hard to see in photos how noticeable it actually is.
