2017 cvo paint scheme
Is it just me or did HD really screw up with their new CVO paint scheme??? Personally I think its to 'busy'.....fact is I would never buy one simply because of how ugly the paint looks!!! Just my personal thoughts....what do you think???

Most CVO paint schemes seem that way to me except for the first few years that CVO's cane out. I think the worst was the clownish paint on the CVO Softail deluxe a few years ago.
I always liked the CVO's except for their paint.

I also had the 09 CVO Road Glide, I have a 13 CVO Road King anniversary edition, and a 17 CVO Street glide. Had a 15 CVO Road Glide Ultra, thought its pain design was to plain.
I get lots of complements on my 17.

Paint is likely the most subjective thing you can talk about with bikes. Some like lots of flash, some don't, etc. For me I've never owned a CVO but have seen a lot, I like them but haven't seen any that have the real "wow" factor in terms of the paint. Saw a youtube video recently on HD's being built, there is only so much they can do with paint schemes when it is still mostly production line building. They use a lot of decals over paint which then get clear-coated, which I'm not a fan of really. Even when they do pinstriping by hand it is all with templates, not the artistry you get from a true custom paint job.
