Matte Finish bikes

[willtill]

Seems like I would have seen a difference in the paint over a year and a half period and over 14000 miles. Nothing has change in the color on the bike. It looks as good now as it did when I bought it. I understand the need on shiney painted surfaces for wax and protection but this matte silver holds up very well without any outside help.

The problem is that you have been staring at your matte finish for a year and a half, and for over 14,000 miles... and have nothing to compare it against.

It's undergone change from the initial appearance.... but you cannot comprehend it over the elapsed time.

But hey... if your present UNPROTECTED finish makes you happy.... we're happy for you.

Do you think you can make a dull color duller? Its already flat, I seriously doubt you could make it flatter. this color holds up very well, I doubt you could make it worse looking than it already is. JMHO

too funny. Now if Honda kidnapped the Harley scheme designers and body Painters(and only them) we could get some outrageous paint jobs!

That is way to busy for my liking for sure but the man is right about Harley and paint. They have some very nice paint on their bikes.

I've seen folks make a dull thread duller, but not paint.

I once didn't cut my finger off with a dull butter knife. So as it dulls I am not going to fear it any more or less.
