Default Fat Bob Denim Black or Sedona Orange???

Hey I have a 2011 Sedona Orange Fat Bob and just recently got in an accident with a cager. Gonna be a few months before i ride again but the bike isn't totaled and have the option of picking what color i want the tins to be when they piece it back together. I really liked the way the orange looked in the sunlight but also love the mean look of the demin black. Just wondering what some peoples' opinions were??? I heard the denim black is really hard to maintain??? Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!

I would stick with the orange. I thought black flames would look great over the orange.

It is not hard to maintain. It is actually easy as hell. Windex and Microfiber cloth and you are done. No hose, water bucket, wax, polish etc. Just windex. I try to wipe it down real quick each time I park it in the garage. Takes 5 minutes. And it looks great. I would say go with Denim.

Nothing hard to maintain about the denim paint, but it will wear according to the MOCO. I'd say go with either the orange or something different all together. There are too many Denim and Vivid Black ones running around for me. I like to stand a little bit, not that Denim black isn't tempting cuz it is mean looking as hell.

Denim paint isn't difficult to maintain, as previously posted. I've only had mine for a little over a year and 12K miles, still looks just like new. I've read on the intardnet that it wears, but haven't noticed it happening with mine...maybe it takes a lot more miles/time to happen?

Why would you want to use an amonia based surface "cleaner" on your good paint? My recipe......use a 100% cotton cloth with Meguiar's products.

Obviously I use the commercial line ammonia free Windex. I guess I should have stated that.

Now sounds like the time for you to go with a different color that isnt as boring as flat black or orange. Mines black for now but thats not the color forever.
