Default ? on painting inner fairing

Hello, I am considering painting my inner fairing. My ultra is vivid black. My question is has anyone ever seen a black bike with the inner fairing painted another color other than black,and if so what color and how did it look. Thanks

Saw it with s pewter gray pearl. Had a little paint on saddlebags to pull it together. I liked it, wasn't to much of a contrast for me.

I've never seen one before so I know that it doesn't really answer your question. I never really thought about it before but think it's a great idea. I think if you go with a really bright color then it may look missmatched, like you just pulled it off another bike. But, I think that a complimentary color would really set it off and look good. Just my opinion. Can't wait to see the pics.

I've seen it a couple of times and I must admit I am not a fan. If anything, a subtle contrast such as a pinstripe or something that could be tied into other parts of the bike, but on the whole, for an all Vivid Black bike, I would stay Vivid Black. Just my opinion.

I like the idea of slammed05fatty said about the wood grain. Find a good custom painter to do something like that. But just to go another whole different color not to sure how that would look,never seen it so you might be on to something. Look foward to seeing pics.
