Default If you were to paint your bagger... Part two

First of all I would like to thank everyone for their opinions, I really do appreciate it. So I met with the artist at the paint shop Friday and I think we came up with the design. For all of you vivid black lovers I have decided to keep the lower part of the bike black. They are going to seperate the black with a tribal design(a brushed aluminum color). Above the tribal they are going to marbelize(color still undecided but I'm still leaning torwards a green or orange). In the marbelized paint there will be skulls ghosted in. I am waiting on a Klock Werks Tude front fender to be delivered before the bike goes into paint, approxamately two weeks. This should give me ample time to decide on the final color. Thanks again for all the help!

Good luck! I dropped my tins off 3 freaking months ago, and I'm still waiting. =( I'd suggest waiting until next Winter unless you're in a very cold part of the country.

They told me it would take three weeks max if I get it in before April. Thunder Mountain Custom Paint is doing the work, these are the guys who paint all of the thunder mountain custom bikes.

What painters say and what they actually do is 2 different thigs. Remeber, they are "Arteests" and you cannot rush their work!

As for the dealership Thunder Mountain, they were great to me last year! I rolled into their shop on July 2nd and saw people looking at me funny as I walked in. I went up to the service counter to ask if they would wash my bike while I waited and the guy looks at me and said "Dude! What the heck happened to you?"
I said I had just ridden through a hail storm, he said go look in the mirror and yes we can wash your bike. I had a bloody lip and welts all over my face

GREEN

ORANGE?

That should be an easy decision.

I like the look of some of the bikes I have seen that just have a solid color with lots of metal flake in the paint.

I'm liking the idea of orange. Thunder Moutain bike paint jobs always look awesome. You should have a fine bike when it's done.
