Does any one have a black denim paint job ? I remember when it first came out some people had problems with them starting to shine. Also very hard to touch up.Looking at new SG but the colors suck to pick from . kind of like the sunglo.

There are several Black Denims on here. Haven't had mine long enough to notice a problem with the paint. I do know it is easy to clean and you don't have to worry about fingerprints and such. I'm sure some more will chime in on this.
Good Luck in making up your mind.....

Back in the high school in the 60's lots of our big engine 50's cars were Black Denim.
We didn't know it was Black Denim we called it "Primer".
We couldn't afford a real paint job but the black primer looked bad ***. I think it still it looks bad *** but to me it's not a new color.
