Default Custom Paint
Just got my bike painted. Agonized for 2 months on what type of ghost flames I wanted. Decided on 2 different shades of blue on a black base. Just as I was headed off to the shop my daughter told me she liked the silver and blue. I listened to her.

Think I should have stuck to my guns. I did not want it quite as bright. I wanted the flames to "pop" in the sun which is exactly what happens with the blue. Silver is a bit much for me. But other folks are telling me the silver is what makes it. What do you think?

I like it. If you want to tone it down, you could have the painter shoot a blue candy over the whole thing. ... but it will cost you.

Here are some more pics.



Either way...It is slowly growing on me. The painter is a guy in Merced California that has won some awards for his painting. But this is considered mild for him....lol.

Looks real good to me. But is more important what you think of it.

Sick man. Love all that bling on your bike. The paint really makes the chrome pop!
