Is it possible to get...
A bike painted black denim? I'm looking at a 08 street bob that is maroon and if I buy it, I'd like it painted black denim. Is this something the dealer could do?
Thanks.

Thats a good price for a bike regardless of color. If its what you want then get it. A paint job is expensive...but living with an already great color and getting a bike cheap is pricless. Powder coat everything black and itlll be sweet. I think the powder pro recently did a bike with a similar color. Whatever you do screw the dealer unless you have a great cash flow
Black Cherry is one of my favorite colors, I wish they still had it. I love that color, looks sick when you black everything else out. Give it time, it may grow on you.
If not, just Plasti-dip the tins, pretty cheap and you can see if you like the flat compared to the black cherry, if not you can peel it back off.

I had an 06 Street Bob that I bought new in 2005 that was black denim. I have history with that color and I miss it.

Personally I think the "denim" paint jobs are crap but only because mine was ruined the first week I owned the bike.I just replaced the tins which is cheaper here in CA. than a paint job.If you think the bike is a good deal buy it and change the color when you can afford it.

My painter (a local hot rod/auto body shop) claims there's 2 ways to get the flat finish...if you can find a decent auto body shop/painter in your area it should be no problem; don't know where you are but if there's a busy chopper shop nearby they may also reccomend a painter. When my FXDXT was apart we even painted the frame to match the re-painted tins (a Mopar blue) and it's held up well and is easy to match
