Default Harley Paint Jobs

Rant for the day. Harley's MSRP for a new CVO Limited Eltra is like $41,000, and they can't put a decent, costume paint job on it. My opinion: Last decent paint job was on a 2015 CVO Street Glide. Custom paint jobs are few and far between. Personally, I'd bring in a whole new paint department and start from scratch.

Just to play devils advocate,maybe the guy with a 17 CVO Limited thinks the same about yours. Maybe something like,"flames again,f**k"!

My opinion I like them all,but hey what do I know...

I agree.

When it comes to paint, Harley will never satisfy everyone.

For everyone that "hates" the current offering, there are far more that like them.

Harley has some of the best paint quality in the industry
But if your really want "custom" your going to have to find a painter and work with him to come up with something to your taste.
Oh, and it won't be cheap.

I have recieved tons of compliments on my new CVO. The general public seems to like it. At first I didn't think I'd care for it when I seen the new graphics on the HD website. My mind did a 100 turn when I saw it in person.
I really liked last yrs flames and was disappointed when they changed this yr, but now i'm glad....something a little different than the flames. Flames are still cool thou

The CVO paint jobs are a big reason why I shy away from them year after year. They remind me of what a 15 year old high school student dreams up in history class. I did like the skunk.

Mentioning the MoCo and decent QC in the same sentence is an oxymoron!

Default Paint

for the most part the quality of the bike is good I guess if your robot reduces paint over a span of production runs the stock holder sees a increase in profits
