I was looking at a denim white bike and told the salesman I was wondering about the Denim paint. He said that as the paint weathers it will become unique to that bike and that they would never be able to touch up the paint.

Well I feel stupid now. I got home last night and checked the HD can test piece....It looks like it might actually match. I guess it needs more than 4 hours to dry (and lose it's gloss) depending on the temp...ya it's rainy and cool these couple days.
So I quickly bombed the duplicolor on another piece last night and looks pretty damn close also this morning...you can tell the tone is slightly different than HD can as I guessed if you look very close.
$35 can vs a $8 can is worth the experiment.
Soon as I get a chance in the sun, will see if it actually matches or not....oh and pics also. Garage light doesnt help.
Btw Pops good to know....I am now curious on the Ford match also.
