Default Need Opinions/Suggestions! Thinking about doin the Train in O.D. Green.

I'm thinking about having my tins powder coated O.D. Green like Army Tank Green. When I do this I'm going to put black Nash Gimps on the bike and black out the exhaust. Also planning to do the outer band on the rear rim in the same O.D. Green and the front rim O.D. Green with the spokes done in black. Also going to have the trees powder coated black and the derby cover, timer cover, and air cleaner cover done in either all black or all O.D. Green. Give me your input guys or any other similar suggestions.

Also can anyone photoshop this picture with the tins done in O.D. Army Green? Thanks in advance.

Green has always been a bad luck color on a bike...

Daaaaaaaaang!!! The first reply completely just busted my bubble. Thanks for the opinion. I guess that's what I asked for.

Go for it. Army drab green is at the top of my list of colors for my Train. There's a dude in Texas who did his bones that way and the bike was featured in American Iron Magazine. Not one mention of bad luck in the whole article.

The local Harley dealer has an '10 Crossbones sitting on their showroom floor in Flat Olive Drab paint and it is killer. Looks str8 old school. I was in getting parts and kept walking back over to the bike and my wife grabbed my arm and reminded me I just bought a Rocker and should be happy with what I have.

Not sure if it would suit the Train as much until I saw it done but after seeing that I think it is definitely worth trying.

Yeah flat O.D. Green is what I'm thinking. I want it to look like tank or a Blackhawk Helicopter.
