Default Denim "colors" passing style?

Have a denim black bike; will always be flat black to hot rodders and is timeless in it's own niche, but what about denim blue, denim red, denim silver? Are they just gonna be around for a few years then pass like paisley? I've wanted to try Hot Rod Flatz Blue on a bike, but...

I love the flat black look on my bike. The other colors...I know there's a sand color and not a fan. But red and silver might be cool looking.

The Denim black is sweet... the other one's not so much, I think they'll die out soon

I'm a fan of the White Hot Denim, especially on a bagger.

I think the MoCo should try a satin finish next that way the gloss and flat guys will have a happy medium.

I've only seen 1 denim red and 1 denim blue in like the last 5 years........but tons of the black ones.

The black will always be around.

To each their own, you never know who is a fan of what.

This is the color I had in mind; with the distressed brown leather bags/tank trim and the rest of the bike in gloss/flat/wrinkle black...just thinking...If I wanna do it next winter, I gotta get the paint coming soon

Yep, that's exactly what it looks like to me - PRIMER. I am not a fan of the denim colors, but I don't have to ride 'em. So, to each his own.
