I like it. Will I pay that premium to get it? No. But I still like it.

forgot to mention, the Tomahawk people were there also and had a nice chat with one of them. They did this paint scheme for Harley.

I don't dislike the paint. In fact, to each his own and enjoy!

In the distant past I would occasionally fall victim to "impulse" color choices that I quickly regretted! (i.e. Harley Aztec Orange, Corvette Atomic Orange. Was on an orange kick for a while)

Something like "OMG, what a cool color!!! Everyone will want that! It is so awesome, I have to have it!! etc etc etc" Wrong. Crap color, no one wants it and after a week in the garage looks like a horrible Christmas tree ornament.

And honestly, when it comes to re-sale? Most of these "designer" colors only appeal to a select few. I pretty much stick to the tried and true basics that never grow old.

Feel free to ask me how I know.

The problem with any fade paint job is that no matter where the stone chip or door ding happens, no touch up color will be right for that spot.
