hey everyone,just wanted to hear your guys opinions on paint for the fatboy lo,which color do you like better and why? im most likely gonna get denim black because i hate CLEANING anything and especially bikes lol
IMHO I've been getting a bit tired of the denim black. The vivid black is a classic color that will never look dated. I also like the way gloss black looks. But don't tell that to my little redhead. lol
If you like riding more than cleaning go denim black. way easier to keep clean. I owned both and I'm planning to go back to the denim finish. That vivid black shows every damm swirl mark and finger print.

My '09 Fatbob is denim black and it has held up perfectly. Needs no cleaning to speak of either. Wipe down with a damp rag maybe 2x a year? Still looks new.
That said vivid is more timeless. Denim is definitely a phase...although I guess I'm still in it...don't like shiny things that much. Works for me.
