i cant comment if it will scratch easy.

but i love the matt black look thats what i was going to buy but found another one that tickled my fancy

can you get the dealer to put em side by side might help?

I didn't even know the fatboy lo came in gloss black?!

Whoops disregard last as just saw a gloss black on another forum member's bike.

I have one in matte black 2011 model. no fade, just use the denim polish HD sell. Had some A-Hole pull over to let me pass and the dickhead threw a couple of stones, ended up with a small scratch on the front guard. So I got a tiny brush and some matte black enamel paint and touched up the scratch, if I didn't know where it was you would not pick it. matte paint seems a lot easier to repair any marks than shiny paint ...

I had an 883 painted in that. I love the colour. I did find it was hard work though. I have just sold the bike, and would probably look at gloss from now on. Easier to cut and polish and keep looking new. I got a few scrapes etc from stuff that I wouldnt expect to damage paint. I found it marked pretty easy, and is reasonably high maintanance compared a gloss black with clear coat. Some blokes love it, i like the look, but wouldnt do it again.

 I own fatboy lo in black denim which is matt black things are all good

 

Hey guys,

New to the forum, I have a 2010 Lo in vivid black (gloss)

Very happy, but you always want what you don't have!!

Here's a couple of pics.

I need to take some better pics, too much sun.

 

Hi,

Nice ride
Thanks
Robots

I have owned a Denim black Nightrod and also a Denim Black Ducati Diavel..

I dont know why after the nightrod i went for denim again, but i did.. and i will never do it again! ... it gets alot of marks on it easily such as finger prints etc and you cant just wipe it off easily, it is a good looking finish.. but it tends to easily show little marks etc..

and i would wipe my down with HD denim paint cleaner after every ride and it always looked immaculate, but it is hard work keeping it looking good...

Balboa, that is one of the best FB lo's I've seen,,very nice job, Burleigh bars ???
