While everybody likes to expect perfect work when it's their hard earned money that pays for it, I doubt there are very many people on here with denim paint that could look over their entire bike with a fine tooth comb and say that their paint is perfect.

There are a few on the tank and rear fender. Front is being redone but will likely have a few too. They are very small specs. In the picture above it is hard to see but is the spec in the flash. I talked to a few painters, and none have done much matte finish work and none guarantee a finish without a blemish or two like I have. Something about static electricity and tiny dirt specs. So I decided to let it go. Unless one is close and looking they don't stick out. I may one day try wet sanding it. But at the moment they look great mounted on bike so will run with it. Thanks for the ideas guys much appreciated.
