Default If My Bike Wasn't This Color It Would Be THAT Color

I have just discovered a color called Ford Leadfoot Gray....wow.
I didn't pick the color of my bike but I like it anyway.

Let's see what color you would choose if you were going to change the color of your bike.
That means a picture cause it's worth a thousand words.

If my bike wasn't black it would be black.

Had a friend when I worked in the body shop that always wanted to simply primer a car and then shoot it with clear. Seems that has become in vogue lately.

But I'm an odd duck I guess. I don't faun over chrome (a little goes a long way), but it's my BIL's favorite color. LoL

I'm not much for 'flash', but I do like a color with some color. I like the Black Cherry Pearl on my RKC so I've not really found a color preference, but, I wouldn't mind two-toning it with another color. Or, maybe this?

I loved the color of my ‘12 Ultra Tri Glide in “Ember Red Sunglow/Merlot”. Particularly the Merlot color. I’d love to have a bike completely in that color. The darker color in this photo.

Gloss black is fine for me. It's easy to touch up if it gets banged up.

The '02 luxury blue is beautiful, but if I ever have 'er sprayed, it'll be some venomous shade of pearl green.

It is a sharp color

I couldn’t imagine anything better than a two tone CVO in Arctic Black and Dark Slate Candy, though.

I really liked the 105th Anniversary black & gold as my 2nd choice:

My favorite car growing up was a '58 Vette in black and white. So I had my bike painted the same way; midnight black and arctic white (see sig picture)

The two-tone paint scheme is similar, in a way, to the classic Harley two-tone paint scheme like my bike.

If I didn't have that I would paint it like my second favorite car, a '58 Vette in red and white.
