Don't do anything. Denim paint is tough to fix. If you try to buff it out you will make it shine, that's not good. Isn't denim supposed to wear in like a pair of jeans anyway? Call it character.

Exactly, that was Harleys intentions behind the denim paint, to look like an old worn pair of jeans or leather jacket!

Yep, what the guys above said. I wouldn't try to do anything to it.

My bike has a denim finish, and I've already decided to follow the lead of another member on this forum and cover any future blemish on my bike with a bullet hole decal.
