First of all, I'm an old timer, so take this as you will. Matte or Denim is a good look for a short time, but are going to look dated in 10 years. Remember how everyone loved pastel graphics in the 90's?

No problem, currently paint for a living and no biggie to put it back gloss black, scuff the denim clear coat, spray clear we have classic black. As the bike keeps getting items put on it, really look like it's going to be cool but aware of the future. Most likely will turn into a restoration project in a few years, frame was neglected and just paint covered up now, will make the decision on paint again
