I wouldn't recommend it though. Quite a few of those guys are getting rust under the clear coat. The problem is that the paint layer is much thinner with just clear, and when it gets a chip you don't really notice because it is clear. Then a little bit of water gets in there and you are riding a rust machine.

Thanks for pointing that out 24. I wouldn't have thought of that rust problem. Makes total sense........clear coat the metal is off the table boys.
Here is the Hellcat silver I was talking about. This is not the picture is saw on the magazine (can't find it on the interweb). It's called billet silver metallic.
Here is a pic I found. It has this blue air intake on it that actually closely resembles the blue color on my frame. Because of that this particular picture is a good way to gauge the two colors together.
What you boys think?

It slipped my mind that the Rocker came with matching colored frames and so when you talked about blue pin striping I was having trouble tying the blue back to anything but the tins. Now that you've clarified it makes much more sense.

I think all that blue would look too boring.
The reason why I'm looking to do something other than blue is because when I look at my bike I feel it doesn't keep my interest. There is not enough color wise going on to keep you interested.......if that makes any sense.
Thoughts??????

How about a paint scheme like s CVO Breakout, except use the stock blue in place of the black.

That will get you an accent and people will do a double take when they look at it.

Ah...my mistake. I think I miss-read "FRAME" and thought you were considering "blue FLAME"...!

Problem with that is that if I go with this silver color from dodge I plan on having my local body shop do the spraying. I know the guy who owns it so he's gonna give me a reasonable price for the job........ But I don't trust them when it comes to masking and creating two toned jobs Lolol.
A straight up single color job is pretty much all they do there. Lolol.
So I would have to find me someone who can do a two tone paint job without raping me on the price......not confident that's gonna be a possibility lol.
With that said. I'm gonna get a consensus from you guys about doing just the silver. I'm still open to other single color options though.
I don't have the mental capacity to come up with colors unless I see them lololol. That's why I'm here asking you guys.
That's it for now, gonna go home and work on these two fenders so I have them ready for when I nail down the color.
