Default to all you matte black guys

I really like the look of that color. Is that a factory finsh or is it a powdercoat on you tins? I have the LowRider with vivid black and the pinstripe burried under the clearcoat, I wish I could lose the pinstriping. Does the matte black clean up easy? does it scratch easily?

Thanks
Scott

The black denim is not as hard as the regular paint and clear coat. I just use windex and a microfiber cloth to clean mine. It doesn't seem to scratch that easily but does acquire rub marks kinda like a piece of leather.

Ride Safe.

the way i would do it is get some jet black base coat with clear and activator it will look better alot darker and smoother if u want to paint it all you have to do to the stripes is block it down a low rider would look cool flat black

It's a factory color called denim black but not sure if it's available on other dyna models besides the st bob and fat bob - real easy to keep clean (windex works fine) and haven't had any scratches - yet (knock on wood). And NO WAXING! A number of us have powder coated other parts, but the tins come in the denim black, so it's pretty easy to match up when powder coating parts depending whether you want flat, semi-flat or gloss.
