Default Help on a new paint color

Hello, to start I have an 08 Street Bob with denim black paint and I absolutely hate it. I like the blackout look but too hard to keep denim clean and it scratches very easy. I can paint my bike virtually any color but looking for something that looks good with black accessories. I want to continue blacking out everything but thinking about different color paint. Help me out. Ive looked around at different bikes and like a few colors but would like to hear some other opinions. Thanks for any help

Check out forum member SLV's bike. It's blacked out but a nice red color. I think it goes well together.

Yeah, I remember reading this on the Sportster forum I think.

Yep. Turned out very glossy and takes time but well worth it for the $$$ conscious.

Thanks for noticing Robbie.

It's actually 2013 Candy Orange, but it does come across kinda red in photos. The attached picture is really close to the real life look.

Sorry. Should have known that. But looks good regardless...

I kinda dig Eric's red Fat Bob too. It looks great with the blackout.

If you wait a week or two, you can see the 2014 HD colors. They have at least one new Hard Candy Flake (purple), and a new blue color too.

Another one you should check out is a bike with a Jeep color. I'll see if I can find it. It's badass.

***edit***

It's Jeep Defender Green and belongs to forum member ResidentPirate. Awesome color. Also, look at Squidhead's Hard Candy "Lucky" green.
