Black Denim or any Denim
Guy's with the denim paints. Do you know if they scratch a little easier than regular paint. \\; Seems like every time i clean up my black denim I seem to notice more and more \\;fine scratches. \\; Unless the light is just hitting the tank at a different angle and I am paying way to much attention to it now...but I wonder if HD has any concerns with this paint scheme now...

RE: Black Denim or any Denim
I've had mine for 2 years and if I had it to do over I'd have got the gloss.I don't know that it scratches any easier but if it does scratch there's nothing you can do but re paint it.Anything rubbing up against it will create shiny spots.The black denim is an off color between flat and satin so you can't just re spray with any rattle can flat black .I use Krylon "semi flat black" which is about as close as you can get without giving the MOCO $20 for a can of touch up paint.

RE: Black Denim or any Denim
I scratched mine last weekend on the tank while doing some work on the bike. Made me mad but then like most say here, the bike scheme seems to like this look and the "old school" goes along with scratches and paint fade right?

By the way, the dealer told me the denium had a clear coat on it...could he have been mistaken? (hee hee).
