Default Fender bibs on denim paint

I'm thinking about dressing up the back of my Slim a bit. For those of you who use them on denim paint... Have the felt-backed bibs messed up your paint at all?

if there is any kind of rubbing at all, it will make the denim more glossy. there is also the chance for dirt to get trapped between the bib and the paint and scratch the bejesus out of it.

Agreed. If you do it, plan on it being a permanent move for reasons above.

I rubbed a shiny spot on the bottom right side on my tank where my knee touched it.

Shiny rub spots on denim paint will make it worth more money in 40-50 years. Don't worry about it. Ride on.
