Paint My Bike!!!! Poll/opinions

OK, I've been going back and forth with paint options for a long time. Its finally time. I had decided on a gloss black, white pinstripe, gangster type look. Then I got tainted by a KZR member who suggested a flat black rat bike look. I think it would look good with some white pin and like a flaming skull decal. I'm looking for opinions here. Thanks one and all for responding, don't hesitate, all opinions are welcome.

I like the idea of a pinstripe gangster look. But if you want to make it even more bad ass make the skull some kind of noticable color, not red flames, but like green flames.

In my opinion flat black is certgainly cheap to do and easy to touch up most times, but it will also show all faults in the paint as well as hold any stains liek fuel spills or grease, etc.

If you want that flat black look witout as much hassle do it in a Satin Black and I think you can get Matte finishing clears as well which will protect it a lot better.

Now if you're just looking for that rough and tumble look ans are willingn to live with the battle scars it's going to get then by all means go flat and furious.

As for design, it's all you man. The pins stripes will work better on your style of bike than the flaming skulls, but it's your ride so you gotta do what you like. Who cares what anyone else thinks. :whistle:

Keep us updated on what you go with .

High gloss black. To heck with white pin stripes...I would go with blood red pin stripes. SWEEETTT!!!!:evil:

Thanks! Keep them coming.

Dnyce please let me know that info, u2u if you want.

Btchalice, yes, but the decal would only be on the flat black one, great job.

Timber, I'm saving the white walls and rims for the vulcan bobber, as soon as I get a vulcan. :laugh:

I don't want to do white walls cuz they won't really be seen under the fenders, and I can't find a rear, a front tire is easy. Thought about going spokes but its not as easy as it seems.
