Black Denim Bike Owners:
I posted this thread early this morning and had 0 replies out of 85 views so I changed the title. Here is my question: my Nightster is gloss black. When a stone grazes the tank at 70MPH I know what happens. I've always wondered the same scenario with denim black painted bikes. Your replies are appreciated since I'm about to help my local dealer thin out his '15s.

As far as deep scratches or stone chips you can't polish them out as you can with scratches in conventional clear coat. HD has denim touchup paint in a vial with a small brush. You can hide a scratch with the touch up paint to a certain degree but otherwise you are stuck with it and it requires a complete repaint to put it back to original.

I loved denim paint. My Blackline was and I had a lot of comments on it. But...if you touched it enough on one place, it'd start shining and you're stuck with it. Like my right knee touched the bottom edge of the tank and turning on the ignition side too. Both spots got shiny but I lived with it since it wasn't that noticeable.
But I never had a scratch or rock chip.

When denim first came out, I remember someone here saying he rubbed his denim into a glossy shine. Why...I don't remember why. I was just stunned someone would do that.
