Kind of a poll....which color to paint?

Unless you think you have something to prove, the blue looks pimp. If you paint the battery box, do the whole thing, just the band would be too broken up. Painting the whole thing would add to the retro thing-like an older Harley with more sheetmetal. Do the blue with "Hooligan" in green. Of course opinions are like buttholes....
Edit: After going back and looking, I would leave the whole battery box, including the band, black.

Kind of a toss up for me ... I tend to agree if you go with the blue, maybe try an old two-tone paint job kinda like the new Road King Classic (turquoise and white). There are some old early 60's factory two-tone paint jobs you could emulate ... pay tribute / homage to .....
Sorry for hi-jacking your thread below ....

I bought that same pipe, but it wouldn't work with my twincam 88!! Bummed me out ... I'm still looking for that pipe! I think if I can locate a take-off from an '06 Springer Nostalgia .... Hmmmm ....

Not sure I agree with the rest of your opinion, but I am definitely on board with a root beer or dak copper ... he11, how about dark beer or amber bock?? Metallic flake with candy coat and a lot of clear to really make it shine ...!

You'd have to black out everything else, except maybe the pipes ....
