I like the teal (?) looking color in the first picture. Still get the green but different than the bright green (unless that's blue, then I vote green).

 

Green tank seems like it is going to be the new "V&H short shots"

 

Personally if I were painting my bike from scratch it would be metal flake Candy Apple Red, white and maybe yellow pin stripes.

Thanks for the link, I have been looking for a place that will sell good paint.

haha, yeah, i dont think i could pull that off anyway.

Yeah i hear what you're saying. My dad and my girlfriend both said i should have it re-photoshopped without me on the bike because the color I am wearing and also my brown seat may change peoples opinions on what color i should choose.

I did think about that as well. My friends car is a coppery orange color (its a 2009? Dodge grand caravan if you wanted to reference the color), and i thought maybe i would do that, but its all still up in the air. I am very indecisive haha.

Yeah i never really thought about adding the color to anything but the tank, thats something to think about. But I am on the fence about whether i want to paint it myself or pay someone. I figure ill save some money doing it myself (I have a compressor with a spray gun) or I could just have someone make it look really nice. Its between dropping the cash to have it look really nice, or have something that I am proud of since i did it myself, but dont look as nice haha.

Yeah thats suposed to be a teal color. It is my favorite personally. Its different without being to loud. I thought about a few different blues like that, maybe something like the turquoise you see on those old 50's Belaires.

Yeah i do want to do some kind of pin striping or something like that. I think just one color would be a little boring.

 

Here's a copper bike:

 

A coppery color would probably look good with my brown seat.

 

It can easily look as good doing it yourself as paying a professional, good prep, and take your time, learn the propper pressure for your gun and make sure that your compressor's cfm at least comes close to what the gun needs. Bike parts are small so you should be okay either way.

A couple good coats if clear and I wouldnt worry to much about running it, it can be rubbed out.

I say antifreeze green, if you want bright, if your going to leave everything else black I'd buff it out really good or reshoot them.

 

Yeah I got some paint to touch up some of the black on my bike. We had one nice day a week or so ago so I went to paint, and just before i started to spray I noticed the label said "Charleston Green", but it had a black cap... Good thing i caught myself haha.

 

I have found out very quickly with my copper gimps that it is a bitch to keep clean!!

 

Did you use a clearcoat on top? Maybe just have them powdercoated a copper color.
