Default Denim / Flat / Matt paints

Guys I struggling to decide what would be the best paint job for the bobber I'm building. I want a simple flat look with some old school pin striping. Thuinking either choose a dark purple or black. I like the look of the denim paints but I do not know how durable it is in the Dubai desert heat/sun/ dust conditions. Should I powder coat the frame or paint it? is it difficult to match the frame powder coat to the color of the tins? HELP!!

Just depends on what the PC has for colors. The PC Frame is way to go!

definitely powdercoat the frame, and my powdercoater also powdercoats tins, then wet sands them, and it looks amazing, semi flat black with some gold pin strips looks sick, but hey, thats just my opinion.
