O.k. Have you been digging into my thoughts. Ya. Blue and white are killer classic combinations. Yellow is also great to put up against blue. Those have actually been my two base colors but I will be doing alot of hidden things in the candies and again I'll be doing all kinds of Krazy things. But anyhow are you looking to go Mild or Wild? I can't see it very well but you profile shot looks to be one powerful 4 cylider. L.O.L. :laugh: So I presume that you like classics but like to stand out a little. Wheather it be Power or Paint. I personally love the classic paint scemes but in my life I am more prone to aim toward out of control. How many KZs have you owned?

Powder coating is very durable as you know. It is very hard to remove but nothing that a quarter stick of dynamite can't handle. :silly: Seriously though, you can paint a neutral color or favorite color that you can use over and over again with different paint schemes is one idea. But as you know you take a chance of sratching,chips, or poss. fading (depending on color). Powder coating how ever is very durable but is costly to remove and have recoated. I myself am going with paint due to the cost and there is a real good chance I will get bored with the paint. So tuff call unless you have a set idea you want to go with. Wow I don't think I helped there at all.:huh:
