What color for my frame?

Im having a hard time figuring out a color to paint the frame of my 77 kz650. I have already clear coated my tank so that is staying the raw metal look. Anyone have any good ideas out there? Any help would be appreciated.

painting the frame any color other than black,chrome or silver makes it a problem if you decide you want to change the body colors later.
becuase whatever color you choose to repaint the body with may not match whatever color you painted your frame. :sick:

besides that go crazy paint it whatever color you like. :lol:

And on top of that, black never looks bad. It goes with everything....

Yes, black goes with that too, Ed. Are you painting your bodywork soon too? :evil: :laugh:

No, no, not my bike! I plan to do my GMC Sierra Z71 truck that color and use it to sell fiberglass insulation. Maybe paint a pink panther on it too. :laugh: Ed

I'm planning on trying the Eastwood Chassis Black the next time, not sure if it's more than PJ1.
