Denim Black Owners - do it again?
Denim Black Owners - do it again?
Thinking about buying a Denim Black FLHT. If you are the owner of a Denim Black bike - would you do it again?
I've heard the good (no waxing) and the bad (scratches suck) of the denim story. Now, the dealer tells me they have touchup paint for denim black that supposedly works.
I really like the look, like the low maintenance idea, but am worried that it would look like sh*t down the road.
I'd really like to hear from anyone, any model, about your denim paint experiences.
Thanks!

I haven't had to touch it up yet, but I hear its hard to match.

In a heart beat.
I love it.
I've even had an issue with the paint cracking on the rear fender, but the dealer replaced the tin under warranty - no questions asked.
I love the look of the denim paint and will most likely get it on my next bike (Maybe a pewter denim Street Glide?).

I have a Pacific Blue Denim Street Bob and I like it. Like others mentioned it is easy to clean and IMO when it is dirty it does not look as bad as a gloss finish. And, like others mentioned, it does scratch a little easier but I am not really too concerned about it.

The Pacific Blue Denim is awesome. I wish it was still available.
but honestly, it just adds to the character. Doesn't seem as noticeable as you may think.
