This question is like sitting down at a restaurant and asking the waiter/waitress what YOU should eat...

Spray it pink, and call it good.

Ive been thinking alot about a dark green gloss . If I went a lime green I would put white stripes on it. Anyone seen flat black stripes on a gloss paint job before? might have some different contrast B)

flat black has been done a million times. no flavor. whatever color you go with i would keep it dark to contrast your bare engine. A dark red, dark blue...etc. Gloss dark green with some flat black stripes could be real nice. I always liked the paint on this bike myself.

Okay so I am attempting to spray it black and green . Took me a couple of bottles to get the right green . Got it sprayed black right now and Im going to tape off sections tomorrow . I will try and tape off as much as I can so as to keep the green from being too overwhelming . Plus, paint is not as smooth right now as i want it to be. Even though I wet sanded the devil out of it :evil:
