Default a harley davidson boat project help

hey guys ive tried and tried to learn this photoshopping program but i just cant get it so im looking for some help...My project is a 1989 malibu sunsetter ski boat and ive totally tore it down and put new floors in it so now im thinking i should go all out since its a older boat and go with a harley davidson theme...I just would like maybe a picture of it painted to see what its going to look like and so i can show people and ask their opinions....What im wanting to do is for the paint job maybe painting the bottom black then the middle orange and then the top black....OR the front of the boat black and then in the middle of the boat going at a diagonal line paint the back half orange...then for graphics i would like to put maybe a black harley davidson spelled out tribal design on the orange paint....im hoping someone here could help me out and understand what im wanting if not ill just keep practicing with this program haha....ALSO if you have any ideas that would look cool let me know and i mite like it and add it to the boat...i think its gonna look sweet with the harley theme and then chromed out accessories inside and out. Here is a picture of what my boat looks like...also i will have the black tower like this one and attached to the tower will be a orange fiberglass box holding a couple of speakers.

The color is black. Look at all of the other blacks - even the canvas top. They have a blue cast too. Look at the blue windshield. It's the sky's reflection. If you made it pure black (easy, just desaturate it) it would look out of place to the eye.

Nice job Grubby.

Grubby, you invited anyone else to play with it, so I took a touch of the blue out.

Selected just the black stripe.

Image> adjust> hue and saturation> slide saturation to the left.
