John Deere Blitz black... Please don't line-x or rhino line a motorcycle. It deserves better.

X2 on the John Deere black. Its a flat. That paint is durable. The Deere dealer down the road from you in Burkey should have it.

Assuming it's OP, please respect the 40 year old paint!

There are tons of color options, as stated its removable if you someday decide to actually restore the bike (or the next owner), tons of YouTube videos on how to do some really trick stuff with it. Plus it's not very expensive. They even have the "cool" chameleon color change/flip flop available now.

Or you could do what I would do, PAINT IT BLACK!! I think a famous rock band made a song about it.

Appriciate all the good tips fellas. Well the guy forgot to bring the Rhino lining so forget that idea. I am leaning towards the John Deere paint idea. The original paint is blue and white but everything is scratched up and needs work so can't save original paint. If the chrome don't come clean enough, I will maybe have them powerder coated same as the deer color. It does have the frame mounted batwing. Oh and looked at the title, it is titles at a 78 . So let the games begin!
