I mentioned to my wife about another thread I started about my love/hate relationship with my gloss black bike....She wants the bike denim/hotrod black...She says that she wished I had done this before instead of doing the tins in gloss in the first place....I gotta agree....So now to paint the bike...I am going to get a paint supply store to mix me up some good paint and apply it with a preval sprayer.... This should be fun.... Now i gotta decide if I leave my console gloss black or paint it denim as well. Also gotta figure on the battery cover and electrical cover as well. Having an 05 I can run the battery exposed like it came from the factory.

Maybe some of you can post your denim bikes up and your combinations of gloss and denim....

 

I would keep the dash gloss black, it will be a nice contrast with the flat black

 

I was thinking the same thing. It'd be like black chrome.

 

Just think of all the extra riding time your gonna have, great choice!

I think the dash and side covers might look good powdered wrinkle black to match your engine.

 

I went to the paint supply store this afternoon... seems they mix the color, I get to mix the hardener and reducer...so... I can paint at my leisure, do the tins first, and once reinstalled decide in my console and battery/electrical covers. Gonna do a single stage urethane paint. Keeps the cost down, the heck with color and clear....It's gonna be hot rod black. Should come out much better than a rattlecan job.

 

Sweet, can't wait to see it. I love my flat black, so easy to clean. I think it will look good with the console and side covers gloss. It will help tie in your lowers and shocks.

 

Proud to see you come to the dirty dark side Rounder. Good choice. Can't wait to see the finished pics. Bet your gonna feel like you just got a new bike.

 

It's gonna look sweet...welcome to the "weathered" dark side.

+1 on the glossy dash. I like the wrinkle on mine but I think gloss would pop more.

 

I like the gloss dash with denim, contrast is killer! Here are more pics to ease your decision. Mostly to show you the gloss dash on denim.

 

Oh wow, another denim black bike. Can't wait to see it.
