About the only thing to do is a "hot" blend on the clear...but that is left for a decent painter

 

Yea its not that bad but its my first blemish and you know how that goes. I'll try and get a picture up by tomorrow, thanks!!

 

+1 good advice, if the wear n tear gets too much after awhile i've seen guys just redo the tins powdercoat flat black and that sh-t doesn't scratch or f--kall, its a belief of mine these matte/denims are a spray paint copy of a flat powdercoat job.
powdercoating is fairly easy with a cheapazz $100 ebay gun, cheapazz ebay IR gun, jug of acetone and ANY oven that'll reach 400º fahrenheit. i personally have powdercoated mosta my work stuff, house stuff (as long as the lady o the house don't know) but i'm just experimenting on HD parts from a 883 i'm rebuilding. heres a powdercoat site w/forumhttp://powderbuythepound.com/catalog/

 

oh yeah if you want yer stuff to look like a pro shop powdercoated it sandblast your stuff before hand, i use a $100 tabletop sandblast cabinet, thehttp://powderbuythepound.com/catalog/ has a link to its powdercoat forum for tipsn advice or walk throughs by pro shops

 

I have the denim finish as well and am a little paranoid about the care. I did go to the stealer and ask about what is recommended. They basically told me to never buff or rub the bike when washing it because it will rub the denim into more of a polished finish. Then you'll loose the denim look. I use the S&P 500 touchless stuff to get most the grime off and then just blot dry with a microfiber cloth.

As far as the buffed spot, I don't know if I'd mess with it anymore. You'll probably just make it worse. Again, paranoid, so I make sure that nothings rubbing the tank or fender when I'm riding.

 

Erno... those were some genius recommendations!.. I will certainly look into it!

 

Live and learn I guess. .. thanks for the tips

 

Well, it's alll downhill now... Yeah, I know, and at least you caused it and not some friend or girlfriend. The first week I had my brand spankin' new Ultra, my IPod slipped out of my hands and landed right on the tank...doink! Chipped the paint about the size of pencil tip. I still look at it every time I ride, wash, walk by, sneeze....but I remember it was the first week of having my brand spankin' new bike!

Either way, good luck with it. RIDE ON!

 

Harley sells the denim clear coat in a rattle can. It's a special order item.

 

I am going to try the matt adative with the clear in the next month or sp so we shall see how it goes
