I thought Denim looked cool as hell when I bought it but the paint on my back fender was ruined on day two when I tried to do something really stupid.I bungeed a soft cloth bag to the back fender and rode to work 30 min later it had worn a shiny spot on it that would not go away.It has since been re painted with Krylon Semi Flat Black which I think is probably just as durable as the stock finish.I still think it looks OK but if I had it to do over again I'd get the vivid black.

 

Go demin or go home.

 

If you want to ride and not clean then denim is the paint to get ...

I knew there was another reason I got the black denim. Agree with all about easy to clean - haven't washed it yet, 4200 so far, just a nice wipe down with some windex and microfiber, and some windex or simple green on the shiny stuff, and she looks almost good as new. I look forward to seeing the fading.
