Default Denim paint

What do you all think about the denim paint? I think it looks really nice, but how do you think it will hold up in the long run compared to regular paint?

Looks good. As far as holding up, I don't see why not. I have a helmet that is a flat black/grey finish and it is fine after taking bugs and rocks. Smudges a little easier, and may not be as easy to keep clean.

Might've just been the lighting, but I swore I saw an RG in the dealer's the other day that looked like it was red primer.

Again, it's all about what turns YOUR bolt. Me, ah don't like 'em. But then again, ah don't like Jane Fonda, either.

So go ahead - support Hanoi Jane.....

According to my dealer it gets a sheen to it as it wears in. You have to be careful on what you use on it also. I also saw a Crimson red denim street glide, it was different looking, don't know if I would buy it though

I love the black denim and pewter denim... The other colors are not my cup of tea.
