No More.

I only have so much time left on this planet. I get what I want.

YMMV
Those are some very wise words. I feel exactly the same way. Whenever I settle I wish later I would have been patient and gotten exactly what I wanted. The black ones look beautiful when the paint is perfect, however that lasts about a minute. The Honda Glare product worked the best for me regarding the scratches but if your picky, like others have said that soft black paint is probably going to drive you crazy over time. My 2001 black Valkyrie Interstate that I owned for 12 years looked better the day I traded it in than my 2013 F6B did on the showroom floor.

I have also reached the point in my life I get what I want and I don't care what anyone else thinks about it. If it's what I want and enjoy, that's what is important to me.
