The idea of the denim paint is to let it age, oxidize, scuff, etc. and get a patina to it.

IDK......I love my black denim bike. And I'm on the **** side.....

With that said, 98% water. I do wipe it down after every ride. Wish I could make it harder. life is so good.....

F11 claims it works well on denim. I'd try it in an inconspicous spot.
