Durability of Yamaha's new "water dipped colors"??

[canadianwheeler]

I'm looking at buying a new Grizzly soon and was wondering about how the new water dipped colors are going to hold up? What do they look like after a bit of abuse and age? Also input on the camo I hear it's wearing through where some guys legs are rubbing.

i have the brushed aluminum one,07 grizzly s.e,ive gone thru 2 seasons of moose hunting with it,very nasty holes with branches rubbing against the bike constantly,my bike looks like new still,i have the overfenders on mine so those are scratched,i do have 1 little spot where something is rubbing,but it has to rub a long time before it turns black,im very pleased with the durability of these finishes

Yeah I have seen the silver ones they look pretty good the ones I was really wondering was the red and blue with the ghost flames in the finish. I would like to know if they are going to take the beating I plan on giving it compared to the good old dependable green, blue, or red. Those new ones do look some purtty though.
