Default Paint Inspiration - What colour would you choose?

I was over gloss black with my last bike but the price was right with this one so I'm stuck with gloss black again for now so looking for inspiration...

If you were respraying what colour would you paint your dyna?.

I know I want matte paint (mainly because I live on a dirt road) with pinstripes but i'm undecided on the colour.

I'm leaning towards brown, baby blue, teal or maybe purple. Well that's where my head is at but keen to see other inspiration.

I'm going to do my Low Rider S in Lamborghini Grigio Telesto (aka Battelship Grey)

Change the rims to gloss black.

I'll most likely wrap it though, I can't bring myself to re-paint these tins. (future classic?)

I've always like matte white. You can pretty much use any accent color and it'll look good.

I think a shade of brown would be real cool.

I like your style... your color combo would look sick.

white is for fairies and princesses

browns are for cowboys or the elderly

red greens and blues are for guys that bought the clereance model off the floor and got a discount.

blacks are for wannabe bad *** or guys without imagination (that's me).

either way you cut it...go with what works for your style! Everyone's style is different. Just no stickers pls...

Anything but matte! IMO matte just looks cheap and shitty.

I'm partial to silvers and grey colors (they hide imperfections and dirt well)

something orange, red, something with metallic flake in it, GM's arrival blue is a great color as well. Some greens can be nice too, but green vehicles are bad ju-ju.

It's your bike, paint it how you want. I personally like the matte burgundy that Harley did on their Dyna's a couple years ago. I think Harley also did a matte Blue a while back too on some of the Dyna's. Not sure of the years though.

I think my next bike will be burgundy with a heavy flake. It's growing on me.

I like the idea of doing a wrap though. Then you can rip it off and change it when and what color you want. haha

what ever you do, post pics.
