Crossbones paint question
About ready to buy a crossbones. The dealer (& owner) says that the Matte finish bikes are a bad idea because you can't keep them clean and they get covered with fingerprints. He also says it isn't paint, it's powercoat. Does he know what the hell he's talking about? Input would help with my choice. Thanks,

PEWTER DENIM 98609CHH
BLACK DENIM 98609BYM
ALL BASE COLORS REQUIRE A DENIM CLEAR COAT 98609EK
DENIM BLACK IS AVAILABLE IN AN AEROSOL 98606BYM

I have Denim Black. You clean it with soap and water as you don' t want to 'polish' it so it gets a shine. It doesnt' show fingerprints but it will show oil smudges, like from your sunscreen ect... they can be wiped off wiht soap and water, but until then you'll have a oily smudge on your other wise lack luster finish.

My friend just painted a denim Sportster for the local dealer, and the bike is clearcoated just like any other paint combo they offer. The difference is the clear uses a flattening agent.
If the dealer doesn't know that, then I would suggest a different one. Who knows what else they're going to tell you, just to get your money. Ignorance of their own product = untrustworthiness, in my book.
